37. The 19th Wife: A Novel by David Ebershoff - September 3, 2009 Oh, I loved this book! I liked the way the author interwove the modern murder mystery on the polygamous compound with the 'autobiographical' details of Ann Eliza Webb Young's life. I was afraid that this book might be a ...

Book #76: The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff Suddenly I find myself wanting to read Mormon history. Ebershoff's novel follows the lives of Jordan, a present day 20 year old trying to come to terms with his polygamist father's death, and Anne Eliza, a 19th century Mormon fighting the ...

The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff.

The good thing about The 19th Wife is that I'm finding it great entertainment.

Finished The 19th Wife but will reserve comments for when you're finished as well. :-)

Book #59 the 19th Wife by David Ebershoff **** Two stories intertwine in the book. Ann Eliza's story is told via her memoir and others from during the early years of polygamy in the LDS church @1800's. She is the "19th" wife (supposedly) of Brigham Young one of the founding prophets. Her ...

"My wife has said no..." The 19th Wife - David Ebershoff "Who are you?"

"When I called her name, she did not respond." The 19th Wife - David Ebershoff "Is it really the will of the Lord?"

"I'm not sure why I thought he would be able to take this information..." The 19th Wife - David Ebershoff "What do you think it means?"

"Right now I have no good explanations..." The 19th Wife - David Ebershoff "Want to hear something crazy?"

"I could not summon, neither then nor now, the words to depict the complexities of my grief." The 19th Wife - David Ebershoff "Do you think this is what I wanted?'

"One of my sisters. Stepsister, really. Her name's Elizabeth the Second." The 19th Wife - David Ebershoff "You know her?"

"OK, but no funny business." The 19th Wife - David Ebershoff "Where'd you say you were going?"

Looks like you've had some good reads lately. I enjoyed both The 19th Wife and The Time Traveler's Wife when I read them last year, and I've got Olive Kitteridge on the TBR pile. Edited to add that I love Lisa See and will also be adding Shanghai Girls to the TBR pile. How did you like ...

I've read The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff this year.

The second was about the 19th wife of Brigham Young and included a lot about their ...

Having a wrestle with The 19th Wife, I was hoping to find here some discussion about the ethics of fictionalizing historical documents. I particularly resent Ebershoff's creation of a preface to Ann Eliza Young's memoir and assigning it to Harriett Beecher Stowe, while he both fictionalized (I ...

As far as reading, I'm completely entranced by The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff which I picked up as an audio CD from my local library. I'm also slowly slogging my way through The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon which other LT-ers swear upon a stack of bibles (well, not ...

I just started The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff. It grabbed me right away although I had been reluctant to pick it up in the first place. Something about the title put me off. It was one of the few CDs that was available and looked promising at my library.

Madeline, I just bought The 19th Wife yesterday! This is getting eerie--but fun!

I can't find The Yiddish Policemen's Union on audio, but I'm now listening to The 19th Wife which in just fabulous! The only problem is, now that I take the Metro to work, I need a real book, not an audio book for my trips backs and forth to work. TYPU is a heavy hardback. :( BTW, later on, ...

Should be finishing up Maisie Dobbs and Valeria's Last Stand in the next few days. To all who enjoyed The 19th Wife I heartily recommend Red Water. It is a great book about 3 of John D. Lee's 19 wives, told from alternating viewpoints. I really enjoyed this one.

#103 jbeil: While I enjoyed The 19th Wife, I can understand where you're coming from. There towards the end of the book I was skimming the historical parts to get to the "whodunit" end. Put it aside and pick it up later :-) Or, if you have no intention on picking it up again and want ...

Last night I gave up again on The 19th Wife. The historical parts just seem too contrived and the main character in the modern-day parts, Jordan, annoys me. I know there are many who loved the book, but I just didn't get it. So I decided to re-read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in ...

I've decided to keep going on The 19th Wife for now. It's mildly better than I thought at first.

For those who have read The 19th Wife--does it pick up the pace anywhere after the first 50 pages? I'm at page 48 and about ready to apply the 50-page rule. I can't quite get into it, and that boy, Jordan, is just annoying so far. Not that he doesn't have good reason. And the seesawing back and ...

I finished The 19th Wife, finally. It's a good book, but a little draggy toward the end. I skimmed some of the historical fiction parts to get to the modern part... I wanted to know whodunit :-) AND whodunit was a surprise I wasn't expecting ;-) I'm almost 1/2 way thru Water for Elephants ...

Hi David, I read The 19th Wife and found it to be one of the best books that I read last year. I especially liked both the unreliability of Ann Eliza and the relationship between Jordan and Elektra. I liked that you ended each section at a natural point instead of the more popular method of ...

#42: I started The 19th Wife last year and did not care for it. Maybe I will give it another go this year and see if I do any better with it.

I loved The 19th Wife as well and found the characters in both the past and the present to feel 'right' to me. I think it is a real compliment to a writer to say that he or she wrote believable people in two different historical times in the same book.

The 19th Wife was really good. It tells the story of one of Brigham Young's wife who helps raise awareness for the abolition of polygamy. It is interwoven with a murder case of a modern day polygamist. It was a little difficult to get into because of the two story lines, but once you were into ...

... positive reactions from the LDS community. I asked that particular question because my dearest friend is Mormon, and I lent The 19th Wife to her. She felt it was too critical of Brigham Young and protrayed him negatively, so I was curious to see if her opinion was common. Thanks for ...

Hi David, Please let me join the chorus of accolades. I know that The 19th Wife will be one of the best books I read this year. My rave LT review is one of the ones on the front of your Amazon.com page. I had several questions that I might have posed to you, but other clever folks have ...

David, I enjoyed The 19th Wife and it led me to read Banner Under Heaven by Jon Krakauer which I also found immensely rewarding. I know you'll get a lot of 19th Wife questions so I'll ask one of a different nature. Are you checking the sales rank on Amazon for your book? ;) I hear that's ...

Hi David - I really enjoyed reading The 19th Wife. It's one of my favourite books of 2008. I'm a non-Mormon in a heavily LDS-populated city, so I'm wondering: Have you received any feedback from the Mormon community yet? What do you anticipate the reaction will be?

David, The research required for The 19th Wife seems like it would be epic in scale. Did you run into some of the same roadblocks with respect to document access as your characters did? Were church leaders helpful with your research? Was it difficult to balance objective research with some of ...

David, I adored The 19th Wife. What made you want to write about polygamy?

Join us here to talk to David Ebershoff, author of The 19th Wife. He'll be on LibraryThing to discuss his work and answer questions through August 22nd.

Detailmuse.. I want to read Look Me In The Eye eventually. I am hoping to get a copy of The 19th Wife sometime. I am also anxious to read American Wife, it is on my wishlist at amazon :)

I should finish Stolen Innocence by Elissa Wall tonight or tomorrow. Next up The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff. I guess I am on a Morman kick!

The Late Bloomer's Revolution by Amy Cohen. I just finished The 19th Wife and I absolutely loved it!

Nice call on The 19th Wife, I thought it was quite good.

... we go to Barnes & Noble today, so I meekly complied ;-) I bought: Lying With Strangers by James Grippando The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff The Edge of Recall by Kristen Heitzmann Emma by Jane Austen Can't wait to begin The 19th Wife.

#221: Hi agatatera! I quite enjoyed The 19th Wife. I wrote a review for it, which you can find under my reviews.

Does anybody want my Early Reviewers copy of The 19th Wife or Garth Nix's Superior Saturday? PM me and I'd be happy to reserve either one for you.

I'm still working on The 19th Wife. I feel like that sentence will sum up what I'm reading for the next twenty years at this point -- I've just learned to knit and it's eating up all my reading time! :P

... of Deborah that I'd be interested in trading in for something else. I've been eying everyone's reviews of books such as The 19th Wife, The Lace Reader (don't worry, I stocked up on cucumber sandwiches just in case), The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher (which I was supposed to received but am ...

>333 Oooh klmnca, I'm jealous, I wish I'd thought of querying the publisher directly about The 19th Wife! I so want to read that one...

Rec'd The 19th Wife today, I thought it looked good so I asked the publisher about it a couple of weeks ago. It's out tomorrow. Hmm..its not looking so good for getting it read prior to publication!

>246, Yah, that was my mistake. I already wrote the post for when The Gargoyle, The 19th Wife and The White Mary come out next Tuesday, and I got it mentally confused with my post for The Last Queen and The Lace Reader today.

#75: Uh, yeah...that was pretty insulting. I've posted a review of The 19th Wife here on my blog...and no, I'm not interested in discussing it over cucumber sandwiches.

I'm nearly 200 pages into the nearly 600 page The 19th Wife. It is interesting the way it is written - alternating between the story of Brigham Young's 19th wife (who left him and was very vocal in her criticism of plural marriage) and a present day murder mystery involving the 19th wife of a "Sai ...

... sometime this past winter. I didn't win any the first couple of rounds, but have gotten selected 4 months in a row now: The 19th Wife Loose Girl: A Memoir Sway: The Irresistable Pull of Illogical Behavior Stalking Irish Madness I feel so lucky & didn't expect to get anything this ...

... wasn't a member of FLDS royalty like the other two authors, but the book was much more readable. I am interested in The 19th Wife though.

... hard to say after the fact. I've read several that I would have purchased, and I haven't been doing this very long. The 19th Wife, The Aviary Gate, Abbeville, and others - all great reads and I'm glad to have been able to read them and recommend them to others. By the same token, I ...

I've got a copy of The 19th Wife I'm willing to part with. My husband got it through the ER program and didn't care for it. The only thing is, it's a BRICK and if I mail it out to someone I'd like to be reimbursed for the postage. Obviously I have to trust you to send me a check or well-concealed ...

Gosh, I wasn't that much of a fan (see my 2-star review for The 19th Wife: A Novel) and wonder if I'm being too critical? I'd recommend instead STOLEN INNOCENCE, which is somewhat repetitive, but as memoir, has the ring of truth that this book misses. Ebershoff *almost* makes me want to read An ...

I hate it when I accidentally post something twice...

There are a lot of reviews for The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff but I can't find a topic for them on the group. So here is mine. In short, I really enjoyed this book and recommend it.

The Somnambulist and Wednesday Sisters but I want to buy Olive Kittredge and Lace Reader and also the 19th Wife.

I definitely want to buy The Lace Reader and The 19th Wife, but since I don't like hardcovers, I'm going to wait till they come out in paperback...

#14 The 19th Wife - David Ebershoff This was my first early reviewers book and I was very pleased with it. Good historical fiction and a it reads pretty quickly. It's got a little mystery tied in with a modern day polygamous group which kept it interesting, I also loved the characters in the ...

28. The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff - GLBTQ for now. This book could easily be in the religion category, but I love how Jordan's gayness is both integral and incidental to the story. A wonderful, humanizing portrait of people affected by polygamy. Ebershoff never stoops to pandering to ...

>104, I know I'm not the person you asked, but I thought that The 19th Wife was very good. It really kept me interested. I've been focusing on short books since Friday because I'm going out of town for a week and I want reviews to post on my blog while I ...

Hi Nancyewhite. The book The 19th Wife is one that is posted frequently. I'd be interested in learning your impressions when you are finished. Perhaps I'll add it to the huge pile of to be read this summer.

I'm reading an Early Review copy of The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff which also is both a currently-set mystery and a work of historical fiction. I am really enjoying it.

I'll be finishing my Early Review book The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff today or tomorrow. I really am enjoying it. Next up is The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton for the Literature Group Reads group. My 2.5 year old has put Atonement somewhere that I cannot find it even ...

... chapters are the real draw. I'm going to have to take a break from these, though. In the last few months, I've read The 19th Wife, The Terror and now The Aviary Gate, all a mix of historical fact/fiction, and two of them a mix of past/present. I'm also listening to Unaccustomed Ea ...

I agree; lists of books are fun. I've received The 19th Wife and Tomato Girl.

#46 - I posted a pretty glowing review of The 19th Wife - might be the best book I've read so far this year. Two free books showed up yesterday for reviewing: The Dangerous Joy of Dr. Sex by Pagan Kennedy and The Aviary Gate by Katie Hickman. Best thing? They were ARCs, so FREE! Love ...

17. The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff - an Early Reviewers book. Fantastic!

#42 I'm glad someone else liked the 19th wife! My favorite ARC so far. Well, so much for self control. Went to Borders today and bought The Book Of Lost Things, A Dirty Job, and When You Are Engulfed In Flames in exchange for babysitting for my little brother. I feel like I'm back in ...

I received David Ebershoff's Pasadena today. I enjoyed the ER book I read by him, The 19th Wife, so much that I went out and mooched this right away.

... far - The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger (I know, I'm about a year behind everyone else reading that one) and The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff, through the Early Reviewer program.

... time to get into it, and to be able to sort out the various timelines, but it is worth the effort. I also jsut finished The 19th Wife which I got from the ER program here. LOVED IT. Working on my review now. New books this week: Bangkok 8 by John Burdett Voodoo River by Robert Crai ...

21. The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff The fastest 600 pages I ever read. I'm not a speed reader - I tend to dawdle and read at a fairly leaisurely pace - so I was a bit intimidated by the sheer size of this book. However, once I started, the pages flew by. Look for this one when it's ...

Finished my ARC The 19th Wife, which I quite enjoyed, and am now reading Mort which I love. Pratchett can do no wrong. But I'm still sad about my books being so far away - it's screwing up my reading schedule!

... to get it below 4. Monique and the Mango Rains was my top pick for the month The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson, The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff, and Someday My Prince Will Come by Jerramy Fine were all tied for 2nd place. Hey, does that mean I also get to list those ...

Yesterday The 19th Wife arrived on my doorstep, and today our public library was having a 'pay what you can' book sale so I picked up copies of How to be Good by Nick Hornby, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin, Can You Keep a Secret by Sophie Kinsella, Bastard Out of Carolina ...

I started The 19th Wife last night. So far I'm enjoying it.

Still working on The 19th Wife, because I got distracted by Waiting For Godot. But I am focused now, and plan on finishing it this weekend.

Thanks angrystar - I appreciate the encouragement for The 19th Wife! 43. The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins I had to read this after the Summerscale book tells me that Sergeant Cuff is modelled off the true-life detective in her book. The missing linen and several other 'clues' are also ...

I was just sent this book The 19th Wife as an advanced reader copy and was a bit daunted by the size. Thanks angrystarlyt, I am now motivated to read it!

43. The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff Part of the appeal of this book is its ties to Mormon history. I'm not LDS, although my husband used to be, and I've spent a fair share of my time in Utah, so the fact that this involved such a close study of characters of real historical characters ...

I'm still working on the 19th Wife which I'm enjoying, and I'm also rereading Waiting For Godot, because I think it's appropriate for my life right now. #162 It took me three tries to read 1984, but I'm so glad I did - it's worth it.

... I read Twilight on Monday, New Moon on Tuesday, and I have about 50 pages of Eclipse to finish up today. I'm hoping The 19th Wife comes today - I could do with some heavier reading.

Working my way through The 19th Wife - only 300 pages to go! Also listening to after the quake on audio for my commute book.

The 19th Wife.

... up Megan Whalen Turner's The Thief (which actually is as good as everybody says it is), and going to start my ER copy of The 19th Wife.

35. The 19th wife by David Ebershoff 36. Songs for the missing by Stewart O'Nan Reviews forthcoming for both of these, as they are both ARCs, but I'm not quite inspired yet.

Finishing up my Early Reviewer ARC of The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton and then likely to start my ARC of The 19th Wife. I'd like to try Howard's End too if I get the time this week.

Reading The 19th Wife, my ARC. I like it so far. I also have other projects that might affect my reading intake this week. Pity.

... up the last few chapters of The Monkey's Raincoat by Robert Crais. THEN I can settle in and read a few chapters of The 19th Wife. Big plans for the day!

Some really great books on this list. I loved The Cloud Atlas and Time Traveler's Wife. I'm currently reading The 19th Wife, which also moves back and forth in time.

I've spent the morning tearing through my ER book The 19th Wife, which thus far (about 1/2 way through) is very absorbing. I finished the audiobook of So Yesterday by Scott Westerfeld on Friday, which was better than I expected given the subject matter... Westerfeld's quite good at writing ...
