THE LONELY POLYGAMIST by Brady Udall

Golden Richards is having a midlife crisis.  Things are not going well at home:  the kids are out of control and he never gets any peace.  His construction business is struggling.  Sound familiar?

Yes, but Golden belongs to a sect that practices polygamy:  he has four wives and 28 children.  Filled with humor and also tragedy, this book may be, according to one review, “a serious contender for Great American Novel status.”
