Time To Read

Thanks for joining us. We’re talking about The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt: Hermann Kermit Warm (great name right??) is going to die. The enigmatic and powerful man known only as the Commodore has ordered it, and hired Eli and Charlie Sisters to see it done. The Sisters Brothers are notorious killers. But Eli has begun to question what he does for a living – and whom he does it for. As they embark on what may well be their last job, they find their prey isn’t an easy mark, and on the road from Oregon City to Sacramento California they encounter no end of adventure, cheaters, and ne’er-do-wells in a violent, lustful odyssey of the 1850”s frontier, that beautifully captures the humour, melancholy, and grit of the Old West. Can you tell me a book I would also like?
