| Summary: | Hughes is forthright with his characters, covering every objection to plural marriage that enters Morgan's mind, and many his readers may consider. Eventually Morgan and Angie do agree to enter polygamy, and for the remainder of Muddy, Hughes explores the effects of plural marriage on the family and the Muddy Mission. Here he tackles the issue of plural marriage with appealing characters, genuine human conflicts, and a direct writing style that remains lean and crisp even as it covers every corner of the novel's theme and ultimate purpose: an honest exploration of polygamy for his faithful reading audience. Sophia is a plural wife, but polygamy is not this novel's theme. |
