I Am Abraham: A Novel of Lincoln and the Civil War

Jerome Charynâ€™s â€œdaringâ€ and â€œmemorableâ€ (The New Yorker) historical novel renders the inner life of our sixteenth president like never before.
This unforgettable portrait of Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War effortlessly mixes humor with Shakespearean-like tragedy to create an achingly human portrait of the sixteenth president. Charyn conducts an orchestra of historical figures and fictional extras centered around a profoundly moral but troubled commander in chief whose relationship with his Ophelia-like wife and his sonsâ€•Robert, Willie, and Tadâ€•is explored with penetrating psychological insight and the utmost compassion. Seized by melancholy and imbued with an unfaltering sense of human worth, Charynâ€™s President Lincoln comes to vibrant, three-dimensional life in a haunting portrait we have rarely seen in historical fiction. 10 illustrations
