“Envy is human, and a degree of competition healthy, but togetherness is a precondition for survival.” (p. 368)
This is a great story about deeply flawed characters. The Opgard brothers are bound not only by blood, but also by crimes. The younger brother, Carl, a victim of sexual abuse, tries to fill that hole by the acquisition of power. Carl‘s younger brother, Roy, has killed to protect the brother he failed in childhood, but seeks redemption.
