The Lonely Polygamist Author: Brady Udall

ISBN: 9780099498032 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 602 Published: 12 May 2011 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 19.8 x 12.9 x 3.2 Description: Golden Richards, husband to four wives, father to twenty-eight children, is having the mother of all mid-life crises.

His construction business is failing, his family has grown into an overpopulated mini-dukedom beset with insurrection and rivalry, and he is done in with grief: due to the accidental death of a daughter and the stillbirth of a son, he has come to doubt the capacity of his own heart.

Brady Udall, one of America's best young fiction writers, tells a tragicomic story of a deeply faithful man who, crippled by grief and the demands of work, religion and family, becomes entangled in an affair that threatens to destroy his family's future. Like John Irving and Richard Yates, Udall's characters engage us to the fullest as they grapple with the nature of need, love and belonging.

A beautifully written comic masterpiece, keenly observed and ultimately redemptive, The Lonely Polygamist is the unforgettable story of an American family - with its inevitable dysfunctionality, heartbreak and comedy - pushed to its outer limits.
