The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt, 328 pages, Western
One of my favorite books this year. This is a well written tale about two assassins in the old west, Eli and Charlie Sisters. They work for a man named the Commodore, killing those he wants dead, seldom asking why. Eli narrates the story, and he is beginning to have second thoughts about their chosen profession. As the brothers head west for California, they argue, revisit old feuds, and try to decide whether or not they will keep killing.
Eli's is a unique voice and this was a joy to read.
