<i>Faith, I tell them, is a mystery, elusive to many, and never easy to explain.</i><br><br>Sweeping and lyrical, spellbinding and unforgettable, David Ebershoff’s <i>The 19th Wife </i>combines epic historical fiction with a modern murder mystery to create a brilliant novel of literary suspense. <br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>And as Ann Eliza’s narrative intertwines with that of Jordan’s search, readers are pulled deeper into the mysteries of love and faith.
