Grimly humorous tale of brotherhood and morality.

"The Sisters Brothers" is as dark as it is comically absurd. It draws you into the lives of two hired guns, blending both violence and poignant moments with ease. If you like your westerns laced with introspection and brotherly bonds tested by moral quandaries, this book might just hit the mark for you. Eli’s internal battle with his line of work offers a depth that transforms this into more than just a shoot-'em-up adventure.
