Description
Lincoln in the Bardo is a novel that weaves together historical truth and supernatural elements to tell a story of familial love and loss. In February 1862, President Lincoln's eleven-year-old son, Willie, lies gravely ill and dies, leaving the president to grieve. Newspapers report that Lincoln returns to the crypt several times to hold his boy's body, and from this seed of historical truth, George Saunders crafts an unforgettable tale of a young boy's soul trapped in a transitional state called the bardo.
