Cross Channel is a short story collection by Julian Barnes that spans several centuries and explores the theme of the British in France. The book features exquisitely crafted stories about various individuals, including a reclusive English composer, 'navvies' laboring on the Paris-Rouen railway, and a lonely woman mourning the death of her brother on the battlefields of the Somme. First published in 1996, Cross Channel has been translated into numerous languages and released in multiple editions.
