Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Imagine Abraham Lincoln walking the streets of Evanston, Illinois, on Easter weekend in 1955, just a man suddenly and magically free of the terrible burden of leading the nation through war. How will the Great Emancipator react to this new world, where he finds comfort and love in the arms of a young widow? How will learning of his own death affect his efforts to end the war when he suddenly returns to the horrors of 1865? Abraham Lincoln: A Novel Life answers these provocative questions in a singular depiction of emotional reality and temporal fantasy that brings America's most beloved president to life as never before. Tony Wolk tells this haunting tale from the perspectives of Lincoln and three women in his real and fictional life. Synopsis:See Abraham Lincoln as never before in this unique marraige of fact and fiction — an account of his tragic final days in 1865 and a fanciful trip to 1955, where he finds love and a brief respite from the heavy burden of leading a nation divided through war. In this intimate portrait of Lincoln and three women in his life, the beloved leader's enduring humanity shines through: the vulnerability of a common man and the strength and compassion of a leader in crisis. About the AuthorWolk has taught English at Portland State University since 1965, specializing in Renaissance literature, science fiction, and writing classes.
