OUR STORE IS CLOSED ON ANZAC DAY: THURSDAY 25 APRIL
Ernst Haffner was a journalist and social worker. His only known novel Blood Brothers was published to wide acclaim in 1932, before it was banned by the Nazis one year later. In the 1940s, all records of Haffner disappeard. His fate during the Second World War remains unknown.
An enthralling and significant novel, authentic in its gritty documentary detail... This raw honesty, along with Michael Hofmann's masterly translation... makes the book so contemporary and vital -- Rory MacLean * Financial Times * An astonishing novel, every bit as astonishing in a different way as Fallada's Alone in Berlin, and deserves to have the same success * Scotsman * The characters are engaging, and multidimensional. You care what happens to them * Wall Street Journal * Like a karate chop: hard and direct, but true * Der Spiegel * A real discovery * Literarische Welt *
