Now an Academy Award-winning Netflix film by Jane Campion, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst: Thomas Savage´s acclaimed Western is "a pitch-perfect evocation of time and place" (Boston Globe) for fans of East of Eden and Brokeback Mountain. Set in the wide-open spaces of the American West, The Power of the Dog is a stunning story of domestic tyranny, brutal masculinity, and thrilling defiance from one of the most powerful and distinctive voices in American literature. The novel tells the story of two brothers - one magnetic but cruel, the other gentle and quiet - and of the mother and son whose arrival on the brothers´ ranch shatters an already tenuous peace. From the novel´s startling first paragraph to its very last word, Thomas Savage´s voice - and the intense passion of his characters - holds readers in thrall.
