Two storylines intertwine: an historic fictionalized version of the origins of Mormonism, and a modern-day murder.
Excellent rendition of the story of Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, and the earliest days of the religion as followed from the life of the 19th wife of Brigham Young. You will learn much historical fact as well as insights into the lives of the early Mormons.
Also found the modern-day story engaging and relevant, if not representative of most Mormons (or so I hear).
Everyone in our book club enjoyed this book; we had a fascinating discussion about religion and its relevance to historical and modern-day lives, pros and cons. We were fortunate to have an ex-Mormon participate in our bookclub!
