Susan Wiget, January 14, 2010 (view all comments by Susan Wiget)

This is the sequel to Abraham Lincoln: A Novel Life, in which Lincoln goes forward in time ninety years, to Illinois in 1955. He meets Joan Matcham and spends one day with her before he vanishes again, back to his own time. In Good Friday, we return to Joan Matcham and learn how Lincoln was able to send her a letter and how his visit has changed her life. Because of her connection to him, she is able to flit back and forth between her era and his. This is a magical and haunting page-turner in which the veil between two eras thins.

I found this to be a fun and fluffy read. I thought the idea of Lincoln time traveling was interesting, but I couldn't buy into the romance part of the story. Maybe it's just my perception of what Lincoln was like, but I have a hard time imagining that he would be the type of guy to have a one night fling with a woman and fall in love with her. It just doesn't really sound like something Honest Abe would do.
