This issue of Granta tells the story of siblings: chaotic hierarchies, zero-sum games of competition alternating with tenderness, lifelong relationships that nevertheless can sometimes break.

This issue of Granta tells a different story - one of chaotic hierarchies, a zerosum game of sibling competition alternating with tenderness; lifelong relationships that nevertheless can sometimes break.
