Junction is a Mormon outpost of just eight homes, with a schoolhouse, but no church. It is also interesting to think that 1888 is only just over 130 years ago, so you feel from her vivid descriptions how much the landscape has changed in just over a century.
The author’s notes confirm that while the story is very much fiction, this outpost did exist with the described orchards, which can still be seen today. “The Glovemaker,” set during the winter of 1888, revolves around the lives of the settlers in Junction, a small, new settlement, in Utah. That it is now answered, and the delay since her last novel, “The Promise” in 2013, could well be explained by the obvious research she has invested in this her third book. I have often been asked when the next book by Ann Weisberger would be available.
