I can usually identify with the premise of a book or at least with the characters. That is how I become pulled into a story. Needless to say I did not identify in any way with the story of polygamy or with Thursday who willingly married and stayed married to Seth even though she knew he had two other wives. And yet, I was immediately pulled into Thursday’s story and her sudden desire to know something, anything, about Seth’s other two wives. By the middle of the book I was hooked and then unhinged and then totally taken by surprise. The writing is exquisite, the plot is ingenious and the ending….. Well that you will just have to experience yourself.

I was really enjoying this book until about half way though. I felt it became difficult to follow and impossible to separate reality from delusion. The ending was abrupt and didn’t give any resolution.
