It gave JC a boost.<br /><br />I love your thoughtful take on the novel, and especially your appreciation for the Lincoln family aspect - that was so important to JC. <br /><br />-- Lenore The Secret Life of Emily Dickinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260869904904292715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3831255577594231117.post-26583249194638722332014-02-17T05:20:30.039-05:002014-02-17T05:20:30.039-05:00Thanks for the awesome review.

What a fitting tribute! :)Tribute Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16959016294721462184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3831255577594231117.post-13454382326668962292014-02-12T16:20:10.529-05:002014-02-12T16:20:10.529-05:00A fascinating and insightful take on Jerome Charyn...A fascinating and insightful take on Jerome Charyn's new novel, I Am Abraham - and just in time for his 205th birthday!<br /><br />I am especially pleased that someone with 40+ years study of Lincoln found so much to praise in this book - an honor for the author, indeed.<br /><br />I agree that the novel paints a deep and convincing picture of Mary Todd Lincoln, whose demons were as strong as Lincoln's.<br /><br />Thank you so much. I will send this to the author, who I know will be gratified that a Lincoln scholar finds that he "skillfully blends fact and fiction, tells the true (mostly) story of Abraham Lincoln, and above all, keeps the attention of the reader."<br />The Secret Life of Emily Dickinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260869904904292715noreply@blogger.com
