I really enjoyed learning about Lincoln's life and times with this novel.
I felt like I was back walking in Lincoln's footsteps. I learned a bit o history in a very palatable and human way which is why I like the historic novel. Emotions and experience are surmised by the author to make history a human experience, not just dry facts.

I found my own respect for Lincoln increased with this book and justly so.

Well-told tale of Lincolns and their devoted love for each other through some of the most difficult times a family could endure. The majority of this book takes place in their early years before the White House and I had hoped for more of their days in office. Somewhat of a disappointment, however, an interesting read. (

from an Amazon customer: "By A Customer
This review is from: Love Is Eternal (Hardcover)
All my life I believed that Mary Todd Lincoln was a mean-spirited woman who undermined her husband's successes and caused him unbearable grief in their marriage. Now, after having read this truly remarkable story of their rocky marriage, I realize that a lot of their problems were caused by Abraham Lincoln's moodiness and hypochondria. Mary longed for a more glamorous life which would have placed them in "high society." Her husband desired no such station in life and this novel does well in exposing their faults and virtues, as individuals and as a couple, and as the title implies, shows that both worked hard constantly to make their marriage successful. It is a great story of love, devotion, misery, grief, and its historical setting is the turbulent years leading up to, and including the Civil War."
