I have just started Birds Without Wings ... borrowed it from a work colleague. I'm only 50 pages in & I have been warned that it gets quiet horrific further on. If anyone has read it would love to hear your opinion, good or bad. I'll still read it as once I've started I rarely give up on a book.

"Birds Without Wings" is a superb read. A sweeping epic centering on a small village in Anatolia (now Turkey) as the Ottoman Empire implodes and the world is plunged into the horror of WW1. The Characters are superbly drawn and both mad, sad, innocent & surprisingly and tragically funny. It's an amazing story of the accommodations a rural village people can make through the centuries to reconcile religious and ethnic diversity until the "hell's broth" of fundamentalism and nationalism drive wedges between former neighbours and erstwhile friends.
So much has been written about WW1 in Western Europe and it was brilliant to read a book dealing with the war in the East and the birth of the Turkish state ... while I had, of course, heard of Kamal Ataturk and I was aware Turkey suffered greatly in the war my knowledge of the country and that period was limited.
I loved it and I'm off now to locate more of Louis deBernieres.Posted 2 years ago # -
