Book Reviews of The Lincolns: Portrait of a Marriage

Book Review: Facinating portrait of Lincoln and his Lady
Summary: 5 Stars

I come from Paris, Illinois and grew up with the mistique of Lincoln. He was a circuit Lawyer who tried cases in the Paris Court House. My parents owned a piano that matched one in the Lincoln White House. I heard a review of the book on NPR and was intrigued. Now is a great time to become more familiar with Lincoln. Our president-elect Obama makes reference to events and speeches recounted from Lincoln's Springfield days. It reads like a novel and paints wonderful vinettes of life in the 1830s thru 1860s.

I enjoyed the author's inclusion of information from letters to Mary's confidents and the interests that the Lincoln's share - theater, poetry and literature of the day. The book reads like a drama not unlike some of our more recent first couples of the land. The ambition shared, the personal failings of character they each had. Finally, the strength of character that made A. Lincoln such a remarkable President.
