Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- English-language readers interested in religious fiction and faith narratives
- General readers curious about nineteenth-century American religious culture
- Intermediate English learners who need public-domain English texts for extensive reading
- Readers who like to reflect on life's meaning and the afterlife through stories
Not a good fit for
- Readers who prefer purely secular plots and have no interest in religious argument
- Beginners with weak English who would struggle to finish a full-length English novel
- Readers expecting rigorous literary technique or modern narrative experimentation
Reading tips
- Read the opening chapters first to gauge the narrative pace, then decide whether to read straight through or select key chapters.
- Read the religious ideas alongside the characters' fates, and note the author's exhortative intent.
- Keep pen and paper handy to map character relationships and the timeline, so the threads don't blur.
- After finishing, revisit it alongside background material on American religious culture for a fuller understanding.

About the author
Nephi Anderson (1865–1923), born Christian Nephi Anderson, was a Norwegian-American author. He was born in 1865 in Christiania, Norway (now Oslo), moved with his family to Utah in the United States at an early age, and died in Salt Lake City in 1923. He was the best-known novelist of the "home literature" period of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, writing ten novels in all. His best-known work, Added Upon (1898), circulated very widely during his lifetime; his other works include Dorian, The Story of Chester Lawrence, and A Young Folks' History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His books, often classed as inspirational and coming-of-age writing, centre on faith, family and moral growth in a plain, earnest style.
