Five Wives by Joan Thomas
In the 1950s, a group of evangelical missionaries sets out to contact an isolated Indigenous community in Ecuador, resulting in the men’s deaths and leaving their wives to reckon with grief and the faith that brought them there. Spanning decades, the story probes the moral complexities of proselytizing, the entanglements of love and duty, and the lingering impact of colonialism on both the families involved and the people they sought to change.
