The 19th Wife

The afternoon group is reading The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff and will meet on Wednesday May 20th at 1pm by the fireplace. Check out a copy at the library today!

The 19th Wife explores the mysteries of love, history and faith in two intertwined narratives: a historical thread about Brigham Young's expulsion of his own 19th wife, Ann Eliza Young from the Mormon Church and a modern-day murder mystery set on a polygamous compound in Utah.
