1960. The border between East and West Germany has closed. For
Elisabeth - a young painter - the GDR is her generation's chance to
build an 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. This fervid,
ground-breaking novel, written when Reimann was only twenty-seven,
remains one of the cult classics of East German literature.
