"The Veil" is a very well-written Christian historical novel with some romantic elements. The main characters are caught up in historic events during their childhood and into their young adult years which climax at the Mountain Meadow massacre in Utah in 1857.
The description was vivid, bringing the world alive in my imagination without slowing the pacing. The historical detail was nice and added to the feel of the book. The tension was built nicely throughout the story.

The Mormon history aspects of this book were interesting, but I found it to be very overwrought at times, and written somewhat like a romance novel. There is a lot of religion in it, and I don't mean information about the various religions of the people involved in the story. I mean God talks directly to the people in the story, which was pretty cheesy. I much preferred The 19th Wife as a historical novel set during this era. I

What a great book. It was about an event in history that I did not know about so of course I had to read up on it a little more(I find this happens a lot). I had a hard time putting this one down.

Soooooo disturbing, but soooo good! Those 19th century Mormons were a CA-RAZY bunch. Literally insane. The entire time I was reading this book, I knew that a horrible tragedy would be its climax, but I just couldn't believe that it would actually happen...then it did. I found it utterly horrible, but entirely satisfying as a story. I wish it WAS just a story. To think that this ghastly, unjust act of violence and hate against the innocent really happened kept me up at night.

This was a great book to start the new year off with. I have read many of Diane Noble other books and they have all been wonderful. In this novel about a group of settlers moving from Arkansas to California run into all kind of mishaps and trouble , but outcome although not what I expected was great. I love the way all of the character intertwine and I especially hated the villain John Steele.
