The aging Proctor brothers are semi-literate farmers in upstate New York. They live in a single room in their filthy, freezing farmhouse and share a bed as they have since childhood. When one brother dies, another is suspected of his murder. Told in the various voices of the brothers, their parents and sister, neighbors, and police, this fascinating novel is based on the actual story of the Ward brothers (a documentary was made about them, called “My Brother’s Keeper”).
You won’t be able to put it down!
