Summary "Broeder en Zuster" by Cyriel Buysse is a poignant novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the intricate dynamics of sibling relationships, focusing on themes of love, loss, and familial obligation. It captures the emotional struggles faced by two siblings as they navigate their past and present, dealing with the legacies of their parents and their connections with each other. The story centers on René and Laurence, a brother and sister who, after a long separation, reunite following the death of their aunt, who had been a maternal figure for Laurence. As they settle into their familial home, they reflect on their childhood memories and reconnect emotionally, contrasting their past neglect with newfound appreciation and care. Amidst this reconnection, they also encounter complications, such as the presence of Léon Duval, René's friend, who brings a current of tension and unspoken feelings of love between the siblings. The narrative culminates in a bittersweet exploration of their lives, underscoring their eventual declines and the lingering question of what happiness might have been if circumstances had been different.
