The Power of the Dog by Thomas Savage
4.5
4.5 stars rounded up for this gorgeously-written, hidden gem of a classic novel that I never would have discovered had I not been seeking out books set in Montana for a 50-states challenge. I'm really looking forward to watching the movie adaptation on Netflix as it is also supposed to be excellent. It got a bit draggy in parts, hence the 4.5, but wowzers, I was floored at how good it is.
Graphic: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Bullying, Homophobia, and Suicide
Moderate: Antisemitism
Minor: Murder
