Through their experiences, they learn about love, loyalty, and the importance of family.Written by the beloved author of Little Women, The Brothers is a heartwarming and insightful novel that explores the complexities of family relationships and the struggles of young men trying to find their place in the world.I wondered if it were some deep wrong or sorrow, kept alive by memory and impotent regret; if he mourned for the dead master to whom he had been faithful to the end; or if the liberty now his were robbed of half its sweetness by the knowledge that someone near and dear to him still languished in the hell from which he had escaped. My heart warmed to him at that idea; I wanted to know and comfort him; and, following the impulse of the moment, I went in and touched him on the shoulder.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
