My Brother and his Brother

A novel about two brothers. The story is told by one of them, Jonas, an 18 year old boy. Throughout his teenage years he has been trying to get an image of Paul, the brother he never met; a brother who died at the age of 16, the year before Jonas himself was born. In his search for his brother, Jonas soon finds out that Paul had an intense love affair with another boy during the last year of his life. Step by Step Jonas reveals the secret love and life of his brother Paul. Lindquist convinces the reader with his beautiful language and a story that is touching and incredibly exciting at the same time. MY BROTHER AND HIS BROTHER received very good reviews when it first appeared in Sweden, and soon new editions followed as well as several translations. The novel has been published in Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Hungary, Iceland, France, Germany and Italy.

Quotes

  • Achilles Zaznjomyhas quoted3 years ago
    A soft breeze was stirring the white curtain in front of the open balcony-door. The light and shadow were reflected in the glass on my brother’s picture, bringing him to life. He was looking at me, and he was smiling.
  • Achilles Zaznjomyhas quoted3 years ago
    All I could see was Paul. And his movements.
  • Achilles Zaznjomyhas quoted3 years ago
    “So it was you who put the flowers on Paul’s grave.”
