He has been taught to care for the other nine but also to control them. When the parents are dead and he is in charge, they try to resist him but it is not easy, such are the bonds that tie them together. This is set in a time of generational change from a strict and disciplined society, in which the acquisition of skills is crucial, to a society that is more relaxed (at least for those who don't have such an elder brother), deskilled and drawn to consumerism. This novel is not just about the claustrophobic nature of the nuclear family; it is also about the interdependence of the powerful and the powerless, but in the end that bond has to be broken as the reader will discover. -- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Translated from the Swedish. 500 $a Originally published under title Syskonen : Stockholm : Bonnier, 1998. 650 0 $a Swedish fiction. 650 0 $a Families $z Sweden $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Swedish fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01140050 651 7 $a Sweden. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204537 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 700 1 $a Watson, Harry D., $e translator. 830 0 $a Changeling (Vagabond Voices (Firm)) ; $v 17. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020632.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B68BBBECA5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
