ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt tells the story of Eli and Charlie Sisters, two contract killers who embark on a journey from Oregon to California during the Gold Rush. Tasked with finding and killing a prospector named Hermann Kermit Warm, the brothers encounter a variety of characters and situations that test their relationship and their views on life. The novel explores themes of violence, loyalty, family, and the search for meaning in a world driven by greed and ambition. It also examines the impact of the Gold Rush on individuals and the complex moral questions that arise when the desire for wealth clashes with human decency. The story contrasts the brothers' differing personalities and their journey to find their own path.
