Description
Lincoln in the Bardo A Novel by George Saunders is a moving and original novel that tells the story of a father's love and loss. In February 1862, President Lincoln's eleven-year-old son Willie dies, and the president returns to the crypt several times to hold his boy's body. From this historical truth, George Saunders spins an unforgettable tale of familial love and loss that breaks free of its realistic framework into a supernatural realm. In this strange purgatory, ghosts mingle, gripe, commiserate, quarrel, and enact bizarre acts of penance. Willie finds himself among the dead, where he must confront his own mortality and the mysteries of the afterlife. Meanwhile, the living are left to grapple with their own grief and the weight of history. A powerful exploration of love, loss, and the human condition, Lincoln in the Bardo is a haunting and unforgettable novel that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
