The Sisters Brothers
by Patrick deWitt
Eli worries about his weight and wonders whether he'll find true love. He procrastinates over replacing his broken-down horse, Tub, with another, more reliable animal and spends good money after bad on keeping Tub going. He wants to settle down and be a shop-keeper. In the meantime, Eli is a killer, one half of the infamous Sisters Brothers, who strike fear into hearts across the west, and we see the mid-19th century American frontier world through his eyes as these two psychopaths hunt down their latest victim, all the time wondering how they earnt their fearsome reputation as they stumble from one mishap to another before they find the man they have set out to kill. This deliciously unexpected story is unlike any western I've ever read (admission: I haven't read very many!)or film I've seen and Eli's inner and outer journeys offer much to ponder over.
