Lek gou aan 'n suurlemoen en kyk hoe lyk jy in die spieel. So suur soos wat jou gesig nou lyk, so lyk die broers Harry en Huibert Suur s'n altyd. En hulle hou boonop daarvan! Suig gou aan ’n suikerklontjie en lees wat gebeur wanneer Harry en Huibert op ’n dag ’n kaartjie in die pos kry wat hulle rustige lewe omkeer.
LONGLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE 2021 Summer Brother is an honest, tender account of brotherly love between a disabled boy and his abled brother, which will resonate with readers of Rain Man. "Dutch author Jaap Robben's second novel shows us the shedding of innocence. Summer Brother, translated by David Doherty, shakes out over a hot summer, during that potent lull when characters so splendidly boil, burst and bloom...Summer Brother grapples with the consequences of carelessness and the abuse of power and trust, even if the violation is unintentional...Robben is wonderful at drawing characters with just a few deliberate strokes...Like a photographer shooting a portrait, Robben captures his subjects in Summer Brother in a focused close-up." --New York Times Thirteen-year-old Brian lives in a trailer on a forgotten patch of land with his divorced and uncaring father. His older brother Lucien, physically and mentally disabled, has been institutionalized for years. While Lucien's home is undergoing renovations, he is sent to live with his father and younger brother for the summer. Their detached father leaves Brian to care for Lucien's special needs. But how do you look after someone when you don't know what they need? How do you make the right choices when you still have so much to discover?
