Lunchtime Book Club
Do you have a passion for reading? Then why not join us every month, when we come together in reading and reviewing a wide selection of books. Our friendly sessions are the perfect way to meet like-minded readers and discover exciting new reads. We explore short stories, novels, non-fiction, poetry, and best sellers.
This Month’s Book: Siblings – Brigitte Reiman
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.
