As an American, I learnt many appealing stories about Abraham Lincoln, none prepared me for this dark and heavy rendering of an intensely sad period in his life. I kept putting it down, resting from the hard work needing to digest it, then doggedly continuing. Yes I truly value and appreciate the unique style and scenario devised by this professor of creative writing. And yes, I did finish it. But did I enjoy it? I leave you to guess!
