Two Brothers by Ben Elton

It’s inter-war Berlin and a new mother has just been told that although one of her twin boys was stillborn, there’s an orphaned baby boy who needs a mother.

Frieda takes the baby into her arms and the boys from moment are brothers.

The two boys, twins in all but blood, find their bond is stretched when they both fall in love with Dagmar, a spoiled Jewish princess, and then the Nazi Party takes over the country and their lives are in turmoil.

Only one of them can survive and only one of them can save the girl they both love.

This is a powerful read and loosely based on Elton’s own family history. Recommended.
