THE 19th Wife Book

The 19th Wife is a shocking read that you won't be able to put down. This novel entwines two narratives: a page turning mystery, fantastic in its own right, and a moving story of love and belief. The story is set in two time periods: the modern day, in which Jordan, a young gay man who was excommunicated from a Mormon sect, attempts to solve his father's murder, for which his mother, the 19th wife has been accused of; and the mid 19th century, where it follows the life of Ann Eliza the Young, 19th wife of Brigham Young and her crusade against the practice of polygamy.

  • Product 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.
