Narration In Favor Of Books Love is Eternal

Mary Todd Lincoln always seemed a dour woman in the background from a historical perspective. However, this book depicts an intelligent woman prevented from achieving her full potential by conventions of the time period and circumstances. Though Lincoln would not allow her to make use of her political contacts, she could and did give input on Lincoln's ideas and speeches, in addition to providing a safe haven for him when he needed it. In spite of suffering from skull fracture as a result of a carriage accident, being tormented by society as to her status in their marriage, losing a child, and being accused of treason while Lincoln was president, she remained Lincoln's touchstone to the day he was assassinated. I took my time finishing the book, though, because I knew how it would end for these two remarkable people.

Read while a teen but still remember the wonderful story. It's really a bio of Mary Todd Lincoln rather than Abraham but of course includes the history of her husband's career. Thought about it while considering the books in the Great American Read - should have been there.

I first read this book when I was 17 years old. I was given an old hard copy of it a year or so ago. I just finished it last week.This is the love story of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln. It is wonderful. I love the history that is blended into the story. It is historically accurate, as Mr. Stone used old letters and journals to create the dialog.It is a timeless love story that is especially poignant, becasue we all know how the story ended. I cried as if I had no idea what was coming.One of my

This book amazed me. I didn't take US History is college, so my knowledge of the Lincolns comes from High School, and the few things I've heard or read occasionally. I always heard that Mary Lincoln was silly and vain. I'd heard that she spent money irresponsibly, and made Abe miserable.Instead, the picture of Mary painted by this book is of a highly educated person who had southern manners who used both those things to assist Abe.It is true that she sometimes spent more money than she should

A bit stereotypical, a bit too romanticised, a bit too much man speaking on behalf of a woman and her feelings, yet interesting, with nice historical overview.

This was a pretty good book. I was already knowledgeable about Mary Todd Lincoln's life, so there was nothing new to me and I didn't learn anything, but I didn't expect to. It did a good job of ascribing motivation to that behavior of Mary's that seems extreme and unflattering to her, although of course her motivations in this novel are speculations and not historical fact. Speculations in an historical novel are perfectly fine. My one big problem with this book: Throughout, Lincoln is referred

Wow- this one took me a while, didn't it? Nevertheless, I LOVED it! I love the idea of historical fiction, and this book seemed more history than fiction, which is a good thing in my opinion. However, that made the story a little less gripping, hence the long reading time. The picture this book paints of Abraham Lincoln is nothing short of breathtaking. We see his faults, his virtues, his frustrations, his failures, and his successes. I had never studied more than cold facts about what Lincoln
