Title: A whole new ballgame
Review: After reading Grimmett's Ferry Woman, I looked for his next book, and was not disappointed. The Wives of Short Creek is a sly and wicked and funny look at modern Mormon fundamentalist polygamy, just coming out before Jon Krakauer's dark Under the Banner of Heaven. They could be mirrors of contrast, and the different points of view quite similar.Wives is as good as the Ferry Woman, but so different as not to recognize Mr. Grimmett's writing. Highly recommended for the sheer entertainment.
