Samenvatting

_______________ 'One of the most emotive accounts of life in Nazi Austria that I’ve ever read' - Guardian 'A moving portrait of a girl forced to come of age in a world at war' - Sunday Times 'Vividly depicted and shrewdly observed … The world evoked here strikes me as fundamentally true' - Sydney Morning Herald _______________ An unforgettable, nightmarish coming-of-age story set in rural Austria towards the end of the Second World War. It is 1944, and war has taken the men in Nazi-controlled Austria to the front line. For thirteen-year-old Ursula Hildesheim, life in the village of Felddorf remains almost as it was: bullied by her schoolmates, idly thieving from the village shop, enlisted in endless chores by her mama and sister and running wild with her adored older brother Anton. But when Russian prisoners escape from the local concentration camp, her mama starts an affair with a married man, her friend goes missing and her brother’s allegiance to the Hitler Youth emerges in shocking ways, Ursula finds herself alone, disturbed by dark memories, and surrounded by threat. In this new world of conflict, Ursula discovers a bravery she has never known before and is forced to recognise that danger comes not only from the enemy at the door but from the enemy within. My Own Dear Brother is a remarkable coming-of-age story and an unflinching study of both cruelty and courage. Rich in folklore, it introduces a daring young heroine and a powerful new literary voice. _______________ 'Intensely imagined' - Independent 'A powerful and absorbing novel ... Brilliantly done' - Esther Freud, author of Mr Mac and Me 'A touching chronicle of some of the lesser-known casualties of war and of the resilience of human spirit' - Washington Independent Review of Books 'Muller creates a flawed and vulnerable young heroine we believe in' - The Australian
