Dörte Hansen: Broder
Dörte Hansen’s bestselling novels (including “To the Sea”, “This House Is Mine”) have been feted by readers and critics alike. Her latest book is another great success: It tells the story of Broder, who had wanted to take over his father’s farm, but the inheritance went to his twin brother Henning, born just a few minutes earlier. When Broder returns to his home village after 20 years away, he begins questioning Henning’s business practices. The book unravels a story of rivalry and family history, while asking questions about our responsibility towards nature.
“Dörte Hansen knows how to write in a way that combines both sophisticated themes and literary accessibility. This is a windfall for German literature” (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung).
