I think this book was too long, 200 pgs could have been edited out. If you like historical fiction, you might like this book, it has Mary Todd Lincoln writing a diary/or letter to her surviving son while she is in the sanitarium. Her son Robert, put her in the sanitarium. The book really makes you think about how terrible it must have been to be a woman in that time period. The drugs they were using to "cure" Mary must certainly have added to her mental problems. Each entry to the letter starts with her describing her life in the sanitarium. There are pages and pages about one of the other inmates, I'm not sure why the author put in so much detail, then she remembers her life starting as a child and going through her meeting, and marrying Abraham Lincoln, her life as a mother, first Lady, the assassination and her life after. It is a lot to put in a book. This book may lead you to read more about Mary Todd Lincoln or Abraham Lincoln. I think this would be a good movie and sadly I think the movie might be better than the book.
