The 19th Wife

I just finished THE 19TH WIFE by David Ebershoff, a story about the 19th wife of Brigham Young. Written as a historical fiction novel with a 21st century murder mystery, this book jumps back and forth from history to present day. It was interesting to read especially with all of the news coverage of the Texas Ranch earlier this year. I think most people are both interested and disgusted by polygamy. Of course there is the TV show BIG LOVE, which I am also a fan of...I have also read UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN by Jon Krakauer which addresses Mormanism in a slightly different light...regardless I think most are fascinated and either of these two books are great reads!
