Reviews
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., Praise for the Swedish edition "This is a book that contains so much that is terribly exciting, from that time and now: Sweden and Europe, speech and silence, opera and painting, gender and class, standards and deviation, virtue, lust, and dishonor. And there is more in this winding, engaging family chronicle...along with occasional epiphanies, presented in simple, precise but sometimes lyrical and striking language.", And it is undeniably of deep significance...that language is central--the language that Albert has to fight to gain and the language of music that Helena, despite the best conditions, fails to develop.

Product is 95% alike picture but a little more blurry. Controller play well but had a notice from psn that my joypad wasn't authentic and could by problematic🤷‍♂️ no trouble so far! Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
