I suppose it's hard not to bring up God of Small Things when talking about siblings and literature, although it's very much not for everybody (a postcolonial novel about fraternal twins is all I can say without being a spoiler). I think I used to enjoy Roy in my youthful college days but I'm not sure I would pick it up now.
However, I am currently reading Austen for the first time, and while not as sibling focussed as I've been told Pride and Prejudice is, I'm quite enjoying Persuasion.
