    Two siblings: This doesn't tell us much, two brothers, two sisters, a brother and a sister, what are their personalities. Leave a miserable home: Okay, again is it the father who is mean? is it the mother who is making life difficult? Are they in an orphanage? in the wake of the country's civil war:Read more

    Two siblings: This doesn’t tell us much, two brothers, two sisters, a brother and a sister, what are their personalities.
    Leave a miserable home: Okay, again is it the father who is mean? is it the mother who is making life difficult? Are they in an orphanage?
    in the wake of the country’s civil war: Which country, the United States? France and the french revolution? Russia? Many countries have had civil wars, you should be more specific.
    they embark on an austere quest: austere? I take that to mean somber. That doesn’t sound very appealing. A miserable home and a somber quest.
    to find a new life in a foreign country: Which country? It would take just as many words (or less) to say England, France, Brazil than to say vaguely “A foreign country” Be specific.

    Your characters should have a specific goal. A new life is not very specific.

    Here would be an example of two siblings leaving their miserable home to get a new life, while using specifics: (Yours would be different, of course)

    I like this version and would only make a small change or two
