Whether all members in the book club like this book or not "The Power of the Dog" brought lots of discussion. The setting is the early 1900s in what we assumed is Montana. It is a dark tale of two brothers with memorable minor characters. It is graphic and the horror comes with the older brother's antics. Is there redemption in the end?

I read this book as part of a book club recommendation, and while it started of slow - picks up towards the middle and really caught my attention. The story is set in 1920's Montana, and follows the life of a pair of ranching brothers. It seems pretty straightforward and dry, but there was a very clever, complex series of events that leads to the absolutely excellent (and surprising) ending. Make sure you get to the last page!

Beautifully written
