But when a young writer named Tupper Daniels walks in, bearing an unfinished novel, Elizabeth is drawn to both the novelist and his story¿a lyrical tale about a man in love with more than one woman at once. Tupper¿s manuscript unlocks memories of her own secretive father, who himself may have been a bigamist. As Elizabeth and Tupper search for the perfect d¿uement, their affair, too, approaches a most unexpected and poignant coda.<br><br>A brilliant debut from one of our most celebrated authors,<i> A Bigamist¿s Daughter </i>is ¿a wise, sad, witty novel about men and women, God, hope, love, illusion, and fiction itself¿
