Review

“Weisgarber’s marvelous third novel (after The Promise) is set in the rugged canyon country of southern Utah during the winter of 1887–1888 as a Mormon woman struggles to hold her faith in the face of religious persecution and her fear of the law. . . . This is a rich, powerful, and wholly immersive tale grounded in Utah and Mormon history.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review "[The Glovemaker] is compelling historical fiction, with a judicious weaving of late-19th-century history, fascinating explanations of Mormon practices and memorable characters who hold the reader’s interest from beginning to end. Highly readable and accessible, the voice of each character rings true, and we care what happens to them. . . . Part love story, part religious explication, part mystery, this novel judiciously weaves all of these fictional trajectories into a seamless whole. . . . Not only does this book bring to life an important part of American history, but a deeper understanding of religion and geography, and the challenges and struggles of living in the West in the 1880s. It’s a journey you won’t forget."—Houston Chronicle "Weisgarber makes effective use of early Mormon history to explore moral choice, and compression in language, setting, number of characters, and chronology lends this tale an unusual force." —Booklist "In The Glovemaker, historical novelist Ann Weisgarber beautifully paints the harsh, lonely environment of the Utah Territory during the winter of 1887–1888 while creating tense moments and life-altering revelations for her heroine, Deborah. . . . Through the snow and wind, Deborah balances precariously between the tenets of her faith and her newfound courage. Weisgarber’s strong grip on suspense keeps the pages turning until the last storm passes and Deborah finds peace within herself."—BookPage “A compelling story balanced on the knife edge between religion and ethics, crime and sin, compassion and fear.” —Mary Doria Russell, author of Doc and Epitaph  "The Glovemaker is another triumph from one of our country’s finest historical novelists. Once again Ann Weisgarber gives us a spellbinding, multi-layered heroine whose survival is jeopardized by the harshness of the land and the man she loves. A tale of moral complexity as compelling and suspenseful as the great American classic, The Ox-Box Incident, The Glovemaker deftly explores a woman, alone with her conscience and the devastating consequences of serving community over self, finding the strength to choose right over righteousness.” —Sarah Bird, author of Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen and Above the East China Sea  "Against the backdrop of a bitter Utah January, novelist Ann Weisgarber's The Glovemaker kicks off a taut exploration of right and wrong, of good and evil, with a simple knock at the door. . . . The Glovemaker is a . . . rewarding [novel]. It’s just right for a winter night and worthy of some rumination."—Dallas Morning News "“When I first started reading Ann Weisgarber’s new book, I had no expectation that a novel about renegade Mormons in Utah in the 1880s could turn out to be so precisely suspenseful that, if Alfred Hitchcock were alive, he might snap up the film rights. The Glovemaker is a humane, high-velocity glimpse into the ever-simmering dilemmas of faith and conscience.” —Stephen Harrigan, author of The Gates of the Alamo and Remember Ben Clayton  "The Glovemaker, placed in Utah in 1888, is a beautiful novel that while deeply anchored in history feels oddly relevant in today's world. Told primarily from the point of Deborah, a Latter-day Saint in Mormon country who cannot stand to watch federal government lawmen hunt Mormon men and their families. The issue then was religious liberty and Deborah finds herself in the thick of it." —Jan Jarboe Russell, author of The Train to Crystal City  "Ann Weisgarber is a historian of the first degree, but her true strength lies in crafting sweeping and often poignant fictional narratives of the iconic women who helped settle the American heartland. Ms. Weisgarber, in The Glovemaker, has once again created a heroine of extraordinary grace and courage in a challenging, at times violent, but ultimately sublime landscape." —Kathleen Kent, author of The Heretic’s Daughter  "The Glovemaker, Ann Weisgarber’s engrossing, troubling, honest-to-goodness third novel, is as stark and touching as the lives described, as tense and testing as the Utah backlands where it’s set, as fine as any fiction you will read this year." —Jim Crace, author of Harvest and The Melody  "'I loved everything about this book—the characters, the plot, the vivid and unique setting—but most of all I loved the fact that it felt so raw and honest." —Juliet West, author of The Faithful "In this tension-filled and beautifully written novel about loyalty and love, courage and conscience, Ann Weisgarber introduces us to a frontier woman forced to make a split-second decision that could shatter her family and her entire fragile community—or redeem them all."—Tripfiction.com "While this is excellent character-centered literary fiction, its plot feels as taut as a thriller . . . The Glovemaker stands out for its well-wrought setting and its portrait of faith, independence, and courage at a pivotal historical moment." —Reading the Past "A very good read—affecting, honest, authentic. . . . You will want to read it to the end. . . . Well-researched and very well depicted, [The Glovemaker] is a gift for Mormons and non-Mormons alike, for all readers of historical fiction interested in the background of the beautiful, unique state of Utah. Read it and be enlarged." —Association for Mormon Letters, Julie J. Nichols "The Glovemaker is an intriguing historical novel about an “in-between place” filled with in-between Saints. . . . A tense, suspenseful story filled with empathetic characters and interesting historical details. . . . [Wiesgarber] addresses the issue of plural marriage with sensitivity and empathy (especially toward the women and children in polygamist families). This, coupled with skilled prose, interesting characters, and an engrossing plot, kept me reading and enjoying The Glovemaker." —Association for Mormon Letters, Susan Jensen“Weisgarber’s marvelous third novel (after The Promise) is set in the rugged canyon country of southern Utah during the winter of 1887–1888 as a Mormon woman struggles to hold her faith in the face of religious persecution and her fear of the law. . . .

Set in 1888, The Glovemaker by Ann Weisgarber is an engrossing historical novel that offers a fascinating glimpse of the Mormon faith.Thirty-seven year old Deborah Tyler is growing increasingly concerned about her missing husband, Samuel. He left months earlier on his annual journey as a wheelwright. She has not received the usual letters he sends to her but she is reassured by her step-brother-in-law and friend Nels Anderson. Nels’ theory is a rock slide forced Samuel to turn around and take a much longer route home. Enough time has passed that they believe Samuel will be home any day. However, their lives are upended when Nels and Deborah help a polygamist evade capture by a federal Marshal. After an altercation leaves the Marshal fighting for his life, Deborah and Nels do everything they can to protect themselves and their close-knit community from any future harm. Both remain on edge as they wait for the Marshal’s traveling partners to make their way to their enclave. At the same time, Deborah’s fears for Samuel’s safety intensify as he fails to return home.Deborah and Samuel adhere to many tenets of their Mormon faith but they decided to join Nels in Junction, Utah due to their dissatisfaction with some elements of their religion. Joined by a few more families, they still practice their faith but in a more relaxed fashion. With the exception of one family, the small community does not believe in polygamy. In fact, Nels, Deborah and Samuel provide assistance to polygamists who are fleeing deputies who have warrants for their arrest.While anxiously awaiting Samuel’s return, Deborah offers assistance to one of these men. She is very uneasy since few deputies pursue polygamists during the winter months. Sheltering him for one worrisome night, Deborah sends him to Nels who will take him to safety. Apprehensive the snow-covered ground will reveal their assistance, she takes steps to conceal that he was on her premises. Deborah’s fears are realized when the Marshall shows up and confronts her with the evidence that she aided the fugitive.The situation quickly turns dire when Nels seeks Deborah’s help for the gravely injured Marshall. Despite Nels’ best efforts to protect her, she quickly realizes they are in serious jeopardy. Although she would rather not help the Marshall, Deborah’s faith will not allow her to abandon him in his time of need. After her worst fears about his condition are realized, Deborah and Nels do everything they can to protect themselves and the other residents from future repercussions.Based on true life events, The Glovemaker is a well-written and engaging historical novel. The pacing is a little slow but this adds to the overall tension as the events play out against harsh weather conditions in an extremely isolated area. Deborah and Nels are well-developed characters whose compassion for others could lead to their downfall. Ann Weisgarber provides a sensitive and nuanced portrayal of a little known time in Mormon history. A well-researched and thought-provoking novel that I greatly enjoyed and highly recommend.I received a complimentary copy for review.

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately in WW II HF that I’ve ventured off to other eras and locations for the time being. Utah in the 1880’s is heavy with Mormons, the aftermath of the Mountain Massacre and killing of its leader, Joseph Smith, leaves a bitter taste for some. In a little place called Junction a late night caller sets in motion a series of events with everlasting consequences.I will admit at the beginning wondering if this book was for me. First off I was excited when the first chapter featured a male POV, it's not common so when it happens I get excited. Of course, the whole book was divided between his (Nels) and Deborah’s story. Why was I a bit iffy you ask, well I found the first female chapter a little repetitive with the same feelings, emotions repeating itself. I found myself casing judgment on Deborah's character before really getting to know her. As the story progressed those feelings quickly disappeared. It wasn’t just a story of what was happening in the now but memories resurfaced where I got to know both Deborah and Nels better. How they ended up in this little place with few neighbors and away from Mormon communities. The author wove those jumps in time seamlessly, with an ease that made this story flow at a nice pace.The Glovemaker is a unique mystery, it’s a story of survival, hope, and faith. Ann Weisgarber is a new author to me with her previous books now gracing my tbr pile. Definitely a book I recommend, especially to those that like a good historical mystery off the beaten path.

The gloves say it all... This is a slice of American History that most of us have no idea about unless you are Morman, and then, maybe not even then. What does it feel like for Deborah to grow up as a Latter Day Saint, the daughter of the second wife, when her father prefers the company of his new family? What does it do to her faith in everything she was raised to believe?Ann Weisberger combines the deep questions of faith, religion and spirituality with a thriller and mystery. I can't remember such a historical story that combines these things, unless it would be MY COUSIN RACHEL which I dearly loved.The Glovemaker will keep you reading to find out when Deborah's missing husband will come home, whether the Latter Day Saint fugitive will escape the law, whether Deborah's faith will withstand the turns of fate she never bargained for. Beautiful book. And oh, those gloves really got to me.
