The border between East and West Germany has closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslated by Lucy Jones\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42732874072108,"sku":"9780241555842","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/products\/9780241555842.jpg?v=1709042264","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.pro\/products\/9780241555842","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
