{"product_id":"siblings","title":"Siblings","description":"''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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1960. The border between East and West Germany has closed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTranslated by Lucy Jones","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51456232522075,"sku":"9780241555842","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/siblings","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
