The power of the dog
Savage, Thomas2021
Book
Discover Thomas Savage's dark poetic tale of a small town in early 20th century American that inspired the new Jane Campion Netflix film starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons. Phil and George are brothers and joint owners of the biggest ranch in their Montana valley. 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. 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.
