The border between East and West Germany has closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\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\n\n\u003cp\u003eTranslated by Lucy Jones\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49657799409912,"sku":"EB_LI0700_E05-03_SYDNEY","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9780241555842-1_bbac7acb-2e41-46c6-93dd-0b10f6b4e567.jpg?v=1789889838","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/zh\/products\/9780241555842","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
