BROTHERS / BROERS is a sweeping South African family adventure about love, loyalty, courage and the bonds that survive distance and time.Brothers Ben and Frans Joubert choose very different paths in life.

Yet no matter how far apart their worlds become, the bond between the brothers remains.Their lives unfold across decades and continents—from the beaches of Stilbaai and the South African wilderness to America, Angola, Namibia and the Indian Ocean. Along the way they encounter love and heartbreak, danger and loss, adventure, unexpected reunions and choices whose consequences reach far into the future.At the heart of the story is also a love that refuses to disappear. Ben and Karlien are separated when they are young, but some feelings survive even the longest absence—and some roads take a lifetime to find their way home.Combining family drama, adventure, suspense, wildlife and an enduring love story, BROTHERS / BROERS is an accessible, fast-moving novel about the people we love, the choices we make and the ties that can never quite be broken.This special bilingual edition contains the complete novel in both English and Afrikaans.
