This is a study guide. It may ask more questions than you care to answer about Faulks’ methods and motivations in writing Birdsong, Charlotte Gray, and The Girl at the Lion d’Or.
If you interested in knowing a little more about how a great writer approaches the daunting task of writing a novel, the lengthy transcript of an interview with Faulks is the gift of this volume.
You’ll also learn how to find out more of what you don’t want to know about World War I.
