The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff
3.0
Wow, this was an interesting read!
I didn’t realize until after I finished the book though, that Jordan’s whole story was fictional. I thought it was more of a historical fiction telling of the events, so when I went to research the event and found nothing, I was disappointed. But I still found his whole storyline intriguing and I did like the mystery aspect of it.
I also liked the contrast with Eliza Young’s story. I think that added a lot to the book.
I definitely recommend this book to those interested in polygamist books.
