5.0 out of 5 stars
History, Drama, Soap Opera - It's All Here!,
This review is from: Brothers (Abacus Books) (Paperback)
This was the first Bernice Rubens book that I have read and I could not put it down! I found it on a "take one, leave one" shelf in a hostel and I'm glad I took it - spent a lovely week on the beach reading it nonstop.I was sorry when it ended. She creates characters with depth and humanity and it almost too easy to identify with their sorrows, internal struggles, and external stressors. But it's not all sad- there are certainly moments of joy, as well. If you are a fan of Jewish literature and studies of family bonds, loyalty and relationships, then you will enjoy this book even more! I am looking forward to reading more of her novels. Enjoy!

Bernice Rubens' Brother's offers an absorbing enjoyable historical read,
By bookloverintexas (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brothers (Abacus Books) (Paperback)
The powerful story of the struggle for survival of 6 generations of the Jewish family Bindel, from early 1800s Russia into Wales, and Germany and back to Russia up to 1980. Wonderful family drama, interesting characters, full of the fascinating history of that time and area all wrapped up in a beautiful simply- written style.Its always fun to read a book that teaches while it entertains; I felt like I came away with a much better idea of the overall struggle for survival of the European Jews. Highly recommend .

"Brothers" by Bernice Rubens is a totally enthralling read . . .,
By Dudley Ristow "books4me" (Cape Town South Africa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brothers (Mass Market Paperback)
Amazon please correct the error pointed out by a previous reviewer !Bernice Ruben's absorbing narrative takes one on an unforgettable literary journey following the lives of four generations (from Tsarist Russia where service in the army equalled 25 years to Stalinist Russia and life in its horrifying Gulags) of the Bindel family as they fight for survival in an anti-semitic and very hostile world. One of my top 10 of all time reads - and I am indeed a voracious reader - Ruben's extraordinary book epitomizes human endurance, resilience, faith and love
