PENGUIN MODERN CLASSICS SIBLINGS - BRIGITTE R...

'Spare  chilling  with wild flashes of vivid colour and the tempo of a thriller  Siblings 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 1960. The border between
East and West Germany has closed. 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. Translated by Lucy Jones
