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.

reviewed The 19th Wife on April 01, 2009 The 19th Wife
What was wrong with me? Didn't I review 'any' books when I first joined Goodreads? (guess not)
This book blew me away!!! I loved it --and gave it as a gift a couple of times. A VERY strong 5 star novel! A phenomenal polygamous fundamentalist-murder-mystery page- turning story....which alternates with a fictionalized memoir of Ann Eliza (the 19th wife of Brigham Young).
I come here today --because I just discovered 'yesterday' that a movie comes out this year called "The Danish Girl", which David Ebershoff wrote also.
So---I must ....RUN -(not walk) --and find time to read "The Danish Girl" soon --(before seeing the movie...which looks 'fantastic' by the way).
I can't wait to read "The Danish Girl" !!!!!
