| Summary: | Discover Thomas Savage's dark poetic tale of a small town in early 20th century American that inspired the Golden Globe winning film. <br> <br> Phil and George are brothers and joint owners of the biggest ranch in their Montana valley.<br> <br> Phil is the bright one, George the plodder. Phil is tall and angular; George is stocky and silent. Phil is a brilliant chess player, a voracious reader, an eloquent storyteller; George learns slowly, and devotes himself to the business. They sleep in the room they shared as boys, and so it has been for forty years.<br> <br> When George unexpectedly marries a young widow and brings her to live at the ranch, Phil begins a relentless campaign to destroy his brother's new wife. But he fails to reckon with an unlikely protector.<br> <br> <br> From its visceral first paragraph to its devastating twist of an ending, The Power of the Dog will hold you in its grip.<br> <br> WITH AN AFTERWORD BY ANNIE PROULX<br> <br> 'With its echoes of East of Eden and Brokeback Mountain , this satisfyingly complex story deserves another shot at rounding up public admiration' Guardian |
