In his ambitious, inventive, magnificent new novel, Ebershoff applies his talent for sweeping plots, psychological delicacy, and historical evocation to questions of faith and love. What is it like to be a man's 19th wife? What inner life do you have, and how does it feel to share your spouse with umpteen others? What version of faith leads people into these situations, what doubts might they have along the way, and is it really their faith in God that keeps them there?
