Beschreibung

<p><b>'Spare, chilling, with wild flashes of vivid colour and the tempo of a thriller, <i>Siblings</i> jolts us into the beating heart of a family and post-war East Germany, conjuring the political dreams and divisions that make and ultimately break both' Lisa Appignanesi</b></p><p>1960. The border between East and West Germany has closed.</p><p>For Elisabeth - a young painter - the GDR is her generation's chance to build a glorious, egalitarian socialist future. For her brother Uli, it is a place of stricture and oppression. Separating them is the ever-wider chasm of the Party line; over them loom the twin spectres of opportunity and fear, and the shadow of their defector brother Konrad. In prose as bold as a scarlet paint stroke, Brigitte Reimann battles with the clash of idealism and suppression, familial loyalty, and desire. The result is this ground-breaking classic of post-war East German literature.</p><p><b>Translated by Lucy Jones</b></p>
