"A novel of classical proportions and virtues...humane and moving."–The Washington Post Book World "A love story on more than one level, and Ms. Willis does justice to them all. It was only toward the end of the book that I realized how much tension had been generated, how engrossed I was in the characters, how much I cared about their fates."–The New York Times Book Review For Jeff Johnston, a young historical reseacher for a Civil War novelist, reality is redefined on a bitter cold night near the close of a lingering winter. He meets Annie, an intense and lovely young woman suffering from vivid, intense nightmares. Haunted by the dreamer and her unrelenting dreams, Jeff leads Annie on an emotional odyssey through the heartland of the Civil War in search of a cure. On long-silenced battlefields their relationship blossoms–two obsessed lovers linked by unbreakable chains of history, torn by a duty that could destroy them both. Suspenseful, moving, and highly compelling, Lincoln’s Dreams is a novel of rare imaginative power.

A very detailed combination of Civil War history and the meanings and prophetic nature of dreams. What it lacks in character development it makes up for in the interesting subject matter and was a satisfying read. Although to me the title is a bit misleading as Lincoln's dreams weren't really the main point.

I've started this one for the Award Winning Science Fiction and Fantasy Challenge that I'm hosting. Interesting so far, but not too far in.

Everything SF should be. Suspenseful. Insightful.
