The glovemaker by ann weisgarber6/27/2023 ![]() ![]() It all began when my husband and I spent a vacation at Capitol Reef National Park. Yet, I made the decision to write what I didn’t know but what I was compelled to explore. Writers are often told to write what they know. On the surface, I have nothing in common with the characters and the setting. Some might say The Glovemaker isn’t my story to tell. ![]() The two narrators, Deborah and Nels, are orchardists in a small isolated community. The story takes place in what is today’s Capitol Reef National Park in Utah during 1888. Yet, most of the characters in my novel, The Glovemaker, are Latter-day Saints. I’m a Catholic, not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is published by Skyhorse Publishing in the United States, Mantle/Pan Macmillan in the United Kingdom, Nagel & Kimche in Germany, and Neri Pozza in Italy. Ann Weisgarber discusses the inspiration for her third novel, The Glovemaker, and whether it’s her story to tell. ![]()
