  • The First Wife a Tale of Polygamy 1St Edition Pdf Free Download
    THE FIRST WIFE A TALE OF POLYGAMY 1ST EDITION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Paulina Chiziane | 9780914671480 | | | | | The First Wife A Tale of Polygamy 1st edition PDF Book Open Preview See a Problem? Feisty and exuberant, ferociously candid It is amazing that this was written and set in current day and not hundr "In love, all men are betrayers. It isn't polygamy itself that is the villain in this story, but a society that allows for one-sided polygamy as a result of the women-as-property assumption. A man is the cause of sadness borne by widows. Add to registry. After Tony is forced to marry the four other women--as well as an additional lover--according to polygamist custom, the rival lovers join together to declare their voices and demand their rights. The first and second were the result of rape, but for the third and fourth, she gave herself of her own free will, because she felt she was a specialist in rape. A challenging but nonetheless rewarding read. We are lost mares galloping across life, being fed crumbs, enduring vicissitudes, waging war on each other. I can imagine a science fiction editor forcing a retaliatory overthrow at the end of the story. Recommended to anyone who likes good literature, written with imagination. Polygamy is an army of children, lots of half brothers and sisters growing up happy, innocent, future reproducers of the ideals of polygamy…. I think it should have ended after view spoiler [Tony's fake death hide spoiler ]. While there is much stunning and beautiful writing, the frequency of lyrical, metaphor-laden passages can be overwhelming.
