And there is more in this winding, engaging family chronicle...along with occasional epiphanies, presented in simple, precise but sometimes lyrical and striking language."--Nina Lekander "Expressen " "Sister and Brother aptly captures contemporary views on what it meant to be a woman, as well as being deaf, in a deeply patriarchal and ableist environment (and) provides a rich tableau of experiences of deafness, social exclusion, and community. The novel has a double-appeal: for the nonacademic reader to become intrigued with the rich culture and history of deafness and for the (disability) scholar to get a glimpse into the little-known situation of deaf people in nineteenth-century Sweden...a highly pleasurable read."--H-Net Reviews in the Humanities and Social Sciences
