whitneyborup 's review for:
The Lonely Polygamist
by Brady Udall
Something really didn't sit right with me in this novel. Obviously, coming from a Mormon background, polygamy is a touchy subject with me, and I have a knee jerk reaction to sympathetic portrayals of plural marriage. I hated the main character of this book until the very last page, but I also felt sorry for him. Now that I'm thinking about it, I really hated every character in this book for who they were or what they represented. Mostly I hated how realistically none of the characters could ever take control of their situation in ways that I could relate to. Miserable in your marriage and see no way out?: get a job. It was just frustrating. But entertaining and interesting at the same time.
