Discover Thomas Savage's dark poetic tale of a small town in early 20th century American that inspired the new Jane Campion 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 reckons without an unlikely protector. <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/>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 <br/>
