Publisher's Synopsis
The world may be changing, but Mr. Schufeldt believes in tradition and expects his sons, Kurt and Ernst, to follow in his footsteps and take over the family import/export business when the time comes. But the brothers have very different ideas about their futures.
As youths, Kurt and Ernst are always getting in trouble and bailing each other out. When they eventually go their separate ways, they must learn to face the world on their own terms-against their father's wishes and without each other's help.
Set in Germany during the late 1800s-a time when quantum mechanics was introduced, medical treatments were advancing, and changing morals set the stage for a new era-"The Brothers" explores the lives of the Schufeldts as they navigate family friction, disappointed hopes, political unrest, and outright danger in an unforgettable tale of love and loyalty.
