About This Item
San Francisco: MacAdam Cage, 2006. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/good +. Very good hardcover in good+ dustjacket. Signed without inscription by the author on the title page. Minor wear and bending at the corners and spine ends. All text clean and unmarked, binding and hinges solid. Unclipped jacket would be very good except for a dime-sized white spot to the top left corner of the front panel (visible in the photos). It seems to be white paint or white-out and I have not attempted to remove it for fear of damaging the jacket further. Minor wear to jacket edges and a bit of scuffing at the rear panel. 707 pp., an epic speculative novel about Mary Todd Lincoln.
Synopsis
A fascinating and intimate novel of the life of Mary Todd Lincoln, narrated by the First Lady herself Mary Todd Lincoln is one of history’s most misunderstood and enigmatic women. She was a political strategist, a supporter of emancipation, and a mother who survived the loss of three children and the assassination of her beloved husband. She also ran her family into debt, held seances in the White House, and was committed to an insane asylum—which is where Janis Cooke Newman’s debut novel begins. From her room in Bellevue Place, Mary chronicles her tempestuous childhood in a slaveholding Southern family and takes readers through the years after her husband’s death, revealing the ebbs and flows of her passion and depression, her poverty and ridicule, and her ultimate redemption.
