The 19th Wife: A Novel

Description

Faith, I tell them, is a mystery, elusive to many, and never easy to explain.

Sweeping and lyrical, spellbinding and unforgettable, David Ebershoff’s The 19th Wife combines epic historical fiction with a modern murder mystery to create a brilliant novel of literary suspense.

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 a family’s polygamous history is revealed, including how a young woman became a plural wife.

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 and faith.

Summary: "Great read!"

I took this book on a vacation with me and it was perfect - it definitely took me to another place. The book was fascinating, easy to read, and left me wondering how much of it was fiction and how much was the truth. At first I didn't think I would like the intertwining of two stories into one, but it made it a new reading experience and I completely enjoyed myself! This book is worth the reading time!

Summary: "Half of a good read, a bit confusing"

This author is so skilled in writing, that many parts of this book appear to be factual. Believably so even! However it is ALL fiction. As many other reviewers have stated, the SECOND story, that of Brigham Young's 19th wife, is the more interesting of the two. The other part of the story has too much randomness to it, and things that don't even really matter to the story. The book is very long and drawn out. If you have nothing else to read, it's not bad. Otherwise, I could skip it.

Summary: "Good in parts, but not especially great"

Overall, I enjoyed reading this book, but at times the parallel stores created a distraction. I did enjoy learning more about the history of polygamy in the LDS religion. Mr. Ebershoff includes a great deal of detail about the inner workings of polygamy in a Mormon marriage. I found that part of the book rather disturbing and interesting. The book provides an understandable history of the birth of the LDS church, their persecution, and flight from Nauvoo, IL.

Summary: "Fascinating -- and entertaining"

This is a fascinating book. It is well -written and very revealing about fundamentalist Mormon's and plural marriages. David Ebershoff is very skilled at weaving together a contemporary story with historial fact - the story of Ann Eliza Young, one of Brigham Young's wives, who eventually balked at the notion of plural marriage and began a campaign to end the practice. Ebershoof borrows from her writings, newspapers and various historical sources to tell her tale. The contemporary story of a young, gay "lost boy" is touching in its revelation of the experience of the young men who are abandoned by their communities as they are deemed to be a threat to the patriarchs. The story incorporates this young man's efforts to prove that his mother is not the murderer of his polygamist father.

All of the story is not convincing, but having read a non-fiction account of the fundamentalist Mormon communities (a book about the "Firsts") I found many parallels. Ebershoof does a good job of depicting these communities and the difficulties faced by those trapped in this religious gheto (both then and now). You will learn a lot about Mormon history and the realities of current fundamentalist groups, but read this book because it is engaging, thought-provoking and entertaining. The "plural marriage" phenomenon is central to the fundamentalist Mormon communities in Utah and British Columbia and it is something more people need to be aware of.

Beginning with the title to the last page was interesting; a well written historical love story. I loved every minute spent reading it. I am looking forward to discussing the novel with my book club
