Review

"Thorough research has helped in the creation of a well-drawn, believable world: bawdy, filthy and freezing, with styles of speech based on regional dialects, clearly different from modern yet not challenging to read."

Synopsis

In the late seventeenth century, fifteen-year-old Kit, driven to desperation by the starvation of one brother and mistreatment of his own simple-minded twin, realizes his dream of becoming an apprentice in London but feels drawn by duty to return home to Essex.

Publisher's note

Set in the late 1600's, twins Kit and Christy have always struggled together in their poverty, but when the Great Frost hits and Kit abandons his brother to seek new opportunities in London, his guilt soon becomes overwhelming and finds he must return home to repair the damage done.

Annotation

THE BROTHERS STORY is a compelling, historical young adult novel set during the frigid winter of 1683-84 about twin brothers raised in poverty in a small English village. At 15, Kit is sick of being poor and caring for his disabled twin, Christopher. He runs to London to seek his fortune, finding a home with an eccentric artist, and falls into lust with Priscilla, a maid. Longing for her and fearing for his soul, Kit is confused. Torn between his desire to do something with his life and his duty to his brother, Kit longs to find a middle road. This is a well-written, bawdy, and thoughtful novel for teens.
