Description
On February 24, 1920, two babies are born in Berlin—who are destined to become brothers. On the same day, in Munich, a party is formed that will soon raise one of them to power and try to destroy the other along with their parents and millions of other innocent people. From their first hours of life, the brothers are inseparable. Paul and Otto grow up together, befriend the same girl, and fall in love with another. But when the Nazis come to power, life changes irrevocably and terribly. In a country where, all of a sudden, blood and origin become the most important thing, two Germans and two Jews—whose stories are intertwined from birth and forever—are forced to sacrifice much in order to survive and save their loved ones.
Ben Elton’s new novel, piercing and tender, is about what people are willing to sacrifice for survival—of themselves and of those they love. A novel about who they truly are, what they are capable of, and what they will never agree to become. About what they should do with everyday hatred, with unrelenting memory, with unending pain—and how, out of it all, loneliness, fear, and cruelty sometimes sprout, and sometimes—kindness, wisdom, and happiness. In this story there are laughter and tears, terror and astonishment, tenderness and anger, loyalty and betrayals.
