lisa_holcomb 's review for:
The Lonely Polygamist
by Brady Udall
I spent the entire time I read this book torn between wanting to love and wanting to hate just about every member of this very large family. Which is to say that the author did a tremendous job capturing the complexities of family life and the many ways a dysfunctional family can both go downhill and start its way back up the pathway to a more healthy existence. I really enjoyed the roller coaster of it all and I in no way guessed any of the plot twists as they came, which very rarely happens for me these days. I did have to make myself a little bookmark of all the family names and which kids belonged to which mothers, but that's part for the course in a book like this. I passed it along to my husband for his reading and it made it easier for him to follow.
