5.0 out of 5 stars
Compelling historical novel about Mormons,
By A Customer
This review is from: Children of God (Hardcover)
Using historical figures as fictional characters, Fisher tells the story of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, two very different personalities, who, respectively, founded and preserved the religion of the Latter Day Saints, Fisher seems skeptical of the genuineness of Smith's vision but not of his sincerity. By turns Fisher is admiring of the Mormons' courage and bemused by their folly, especially on Smith's part. The book is most painfully sympathetic in its unflinching account of the cruel persecution of the Mormons in Missouri in the 1830s. The novel is vivid and obviously well-researched, though Fisher's conclusions may be controversial.
