Two Brothers by Ben Elton

This was just on the list of suggested books, so I borrowed it from Killin Library and was not sorry that I did.

Berlin 1920

Two babies are born.
Two brothers. United and indivisible, sharing everything. Twins in all but blood.

As Germany marches into its Nazi Armageddon, the ties of family, friendship and love are tested to the very limits of endurance. And the brothers are faced with an unimaginable choice....Which one of them will survive?

This is a deeply moving book.  It shows how awful living in Nazi Germany was for Jews.  How can people be friends one day then enemies the next? It also shows how people can use their friends and the consequences of doing so. The dedication of friendships formed between children regardless of race.   The ending was very surprising too - not what I expected.
This book is very well written and keeps the reader turning the pages to find out what happened next.
I am so glad that I decided to read this book, and would definately recommend it.
