Serpent in Paradise
I can think of no LDS fiction writer (except for Orson Scott Card, in a different genre) who has more timelessly cultivated the invidious, possibly barren and reputedly mined no-man's land between popular and literary fiction than Marilyn Brown. In this new book, she invites us to ponder the entanglements of light and darkness, the tragic and sacramental risks and deeds, in our efforts to gather and live together, to make, sustain, and shelter families and communities. - Bruce W. Jorgensen, Author, Critic, BYU Professo

A thought-provoking read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
In this novel, Marilyn Brown turns a good film (Richard Dutcher's Brigham City) into an excellent piece of fiction. From the attention-grabbing introduction to the final chapter, I was completely engrossed in the suspenseful plot (even though I was familiar with the story), the psychology of the characters, and the careful examination of the murky divide between good and evil. Many questions that were raised in my mind from the filmed were answered in this well-written book, yet I think it stands as a great work by itself. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in LDS fiction that draws you in and challenges you.
