But it is Omar who is the object of Zana's Jocasta-like passion, while her husband, Halim, feels her slipping away from him, as their beautiful daughter, RGnia, makes a tragic claim on her brothers' affection. <p/>Vivid, exotic, and lushly atmospheric, <i>The Brothers</i> is the story of a family's disintegration, of a changing city and the culture clash between the native-born inhabitants and a new immigrant group, and of the future the next generation will make from the ruins.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Desire, jealousy and envy . . . <i>The Brothers</i> deals with universal themes . . .
