Polygamy, the practice of a man having more than one wife, is illegal in both Canada and the United States. Despite this, there are pockets of Fundamentalist Mormons who cling to the practice. Novelist David Ebershoff's new book The 19th Wife tells the story of two women in polygamous marriages separated by more than one hundred years.
Fascinating book - only a third way through but am thoroughly hooked! David is a fabulous author!
