I have wanted to read this book for a long time. In short, it’s several stories in one that tie together a larger story. As a whole I liked this book. It’s basically about polygamy and the history of the Mormon church. What I didn’t like about it is that there is a lot of fact mixed in with the fiction and it could be rather difficult to sort the two out. I would definitely recommend it; it gets a little slow towards the end, but definitely very interesting, especially if you don’t know much about the beginnings of the Mormon church. It also happens to be a movie which I plan on watching sometime this week.
