Two Brothers

Product Information

The set-up is straight out of a Jeffrey Archer novel. Two boys grow up in a Jewish family believing they are twin brothers, and vie for the affections of a rich girl. Except, thanks to a baby swap, they're not actually siblings at all. One is a Jew and one gentile… and it's 1920s Germany. The appalling road to the Holocaust has begun – and just in case we don't get the significance, Otto and Paulus Stengel are born on the very same day Hitler's National Socialist German Workers' party is formed in a Munich beerhouse.

Two sisters: Miranda, the older, responsible one, always her younger sister’s protector; Lucia, the vibrant, headstrong, unconventional one, whose impulses are huge and, often, life changing. When their mother dies and Lucia starts to hear voices, it’s Miranda who must fight for the help her sister needs—even as Lucia refuses to be defined by any doctor’s diagnosis.” The Family Fang by Kevin Wilson This also annoyed me about Dagmar, almost every time her character was mentioned her looks were written alongside it, I get it Elton, she's "beautiful/stunning/gorgeous" and every other adjective under the sun but I don't need to read that every time her character is mentioned (and again I'm honestly not over-exaggerating). Not only this but that's all there really is to her character, never is anything other than her looks mentioned in relation to her so the boys devotion to her just comes across as empty and again...shallow. I understand a bunch of teenage boys only caring about looks but I'd of thought when they grew up and saw the horrors surrounding them they'd place different things in higher priority because besides her looks the book nor the boys give any real indication of what Dagmar has to offer as a person which makes their repetitive paragraphs declaring their love and admiration for her (which occurred every to every other chapter throughout the novel) extremely boring. I didn't root for love to triumph because I didn't see anything there besides lust/shallowness, and seeing as the novel completely focuses on this love triangle it just made it almost painful for me to read some chapters. It also made Otto's love for her, spanning over 17 years, rather ridiculous. He doesn't give a reason for why he loves her (besides her appearance) can you really tell me that you can love a person for 17 years with no other reason rather than just because they're beautiful? The characters in this novel need to sort their priorities out big time.Corrie ten Boom was…one of the most remarkable evangelists of the twentieth century. In World War II she and her family risked their lives to help Jews and underground workers escape from the Nazis, and for their work they were tested in the infamous Nazi death camps.” Identical Strangers: A Memoir of Twins Separated and Reunited A modern classic, Housekeepingis the story of Ruth and her younger sister, Lucille, who grow up haphazardly, first under the care of their competent grandmother, then of two comically bumbling great-aunts, and finally of Sylvie, their eccentric and remote aunt. Ruth and Lucille’s struggle toward adulthood beautifully illuminates the price of loss and survival, and the dangerous and deep undertow of transience.” The Hundred Secret Senses by Amy Tan This is the first book in The Hardy Boys series. “A dying criminal confesses that his loot has been stored ‘in the tower.’ Both towers of the looted mansion are searched in vain. It remains for the Hardy boys to make an astonishing discovery that clears up the mystery and clears the name of a friend’s father.” The Kite Fighters by Linda Sue Park Friends and Alcohol the glue holding this shit show together - Funny Wine Glass - Gift for Best Friends, Mom, Wife, Christmas, Valentine It's described as his "most personal novel to date", and maybe that's the problem. This is a frankly dreadful novel. The basic premise - two brothers living a complex life through WW2 - is fair enough.

I really, really wanted to like this book. But unfortunately I just found it to be a bit of a mess all round, and I can't bring myself to give it more than around 2.5 stars. This is a story of four children, orphaned at the start of the story, and their adventures and their struggle to stay together and support themselves. It displays their ingenuity, their sense of family, and their courage in a fast moving tale, culminating in being reunited with their loving grandfather.” The Tower Treasure by Franklin W. Dixon A seminal memoir about two brothers—one an award-winning novelist, the other a fugitive wanted for robbery and murder.

If their secret is revealed, it could mean death for both of them.” Children’s BOOKS ABOUT SIBLINGS Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild Season Two: " Palm Beached/ Jamaica Mistake?" • " Oregon Astray/ New Guinea Pig" • " Isle of Manhood/ Puttin' on the Brits" • " Klondike Con/ Isle Find Out" • " Beetle Romania/ Rumble in the Jungle" • " Wide Awake in Wonderland/ Zazu's Off-by-One Day" • " Animal Barn/ Roach Hotel" • " Africa-Dabra!/ I Don't Bolivia" • " Shopping Mauled/ Library Brouhaha" • " Catch Me if You Kenya/ Scent of the South" • " Monster Massachusetts/ Handle with Caribbean" • " Forbidden Pumbaa/ Washington Applesauce" • " Alcatraz Mataz/ Oahu Wahoo" • " I Think I Canada/ Zazu's Off Day Off" • " Beast of Eden/ Sense & Senegambia" • " Timon on the Range/ The Man from J.U.N.G.L.E." • " Maine-Iacs/ Fiji-Fi-Fo-Fum" • " Rome Alone/ Amusement Bark" • " Once Upon a Timon" • " Home is Where the Hog Is" • " Bumble in the Jungle Plus: Beethoven's Whiff!/ Mind Over Matterhorn"When Nigeria begins to fall apart under a military coup, Kambili’s father sends her and her brother away to stay with their aunt, a University professor, whose house is noisy and full of laughter.
