Book Reviews of The 19th Wife: A Novel
Book Review: Worth reading
Summary: 4 Stars
Really enjoyed this book. Loved the tie between the present FLDS church and the founding fathers of the modern LDS church. Having known families from the FLDS church, I was riveted to this part of the story. As I am a lover of historical fiction, I was captivated by the history of Ann Eliza's story. The entwining of both was wonderful, although at times I did find the modern day story somewhat confusing to follow and often had a hard time separating fact from fiction in the historical drama. All in all, a recommended read.
Summary of The 19th Wife: A Novel
It is 1875, and Ann Eliza Young has recently separated from her powerful husband, Brigham Young, prophet and leader of the Mormon Church. Expelled and an outcast, Ann Eliza embarks on a crusade to end polygamy in the United States. A rich account of her family's polygamous history is revealed, including how both she and her mother became plural wives. Yet soon after Ann Eliza's story begins, a second exquisite narrative unfolds-a tale of murder involving a polygamist family in present-day Utah. Jordan Scott, a young man who was thrown out of his fundamentalist sect years earlier, must reenter the world that cast him aside in order to discover the truth behind his father's death. And as Ann Eliza's narrative intertwines with that of Jordan's search, readers are pulled deeper into the mysteries of love, family, and faith.Contemporary Books
