- Germanic literature, Bereavement, Fiction, Brothers and sisters
Jules and his two siblings Marty and Liz grow up sheltered until their parents die in an accident. As adults, they believe they have overcome the tragedy, but their past catches up with them anyway. A difficult childhood is like an invisible enemy, the siblings overcome loss and loneliness and consider what is immutable in a human being.
