Narrative Concering Books Love is Eternal

Mary Todd Lincoln always seemed a dour woman in the background from a historical perspective. However, this book depicts an intelligent woman prevented from achieving her full potential by conventions of the time period and circumstances. Though Lincoln would not allow her to make use of her political contacts, she could and did give input on Lincoln's ideas and speeches, in addition to providing a safe haven for him when he needed it. In spite of suffering from skull fracture as a result of a carriage accident, being tormented by society as to her status in their marriage, losing a child, and being accused of treason while Lincoln was president, she remained Lincoln's touchstone to the day he was assassinated. I took my time finishing the book, though, because I knew how it would end for these two remarkable people.

Column Of Books Love is Eternal
Love is Eternal is historical fiction and tells the story of Abe & Mary Lincoln through Mary's eyes. It tells of the time from when they met through his assassination. Mary was a complex woman, with a goal of living in the White House from a very young age. She was at times enchanting, supporting, shrewish and driven. Abraham Lincoln is always shown as such a big character that Mary is often overshadowed, but she was very much involved in both his political and personal life. While I know

At first glance, Mary Todd and Abraham Lincoln seem ill-matched: she, the elegant daughter of wealth and society, and Abraham the homely son of a poor frontiersman. But the two things they held in common were enough to cement their lives together in matrimony, namely a shared literary interest and an unabashed political ambition.Mary enjoyed a truly classical education, some of it obtained surreptitiously when she sought out the tutorship of a man who was headmaster of a private boys' school.

I am a huge Lincoln buff, so this is my all time favorite of Irving Stone's books. Amazing story of Mary Todd and Abraham Lincoln from their early courtship through their lives together.

In a book club, we were to read a book published in the year we were born. I chose Love is Eternal, a historical fiction book about Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln. I loved it when I was 16 and I loved it now. So romantic. Makes me doubly sad that Lincoln was assassinated. What a great man. But they were both crippled by depression.

I am a huge Lincoln buff, so this is my all time favorite of Irving Stone's books. Amazing story of Mary Todd and Abraham Lincoln from their early courtship through their lives together.

I learned so much about Mary Todd Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln, Kentucky, and the CivilWar by reading this book of mine! Really enjoyed it! Amazing Author as well!

For some reason this was a very slow book for me to read. I get frustrated with historical fiction sometimes because I like to have the historical parts separated from the authors ideas of what may have taken place or what may have been said. I think that I prefer David McCullogh when reading history. That said, however, I did make it through the book, and felt such sorrow for the Lincoln's through all of their lives and for the nation during the Civil War years. It is interesting to review all
