The House of Lincoln: A Novel | Nancy Horan

pick

I had a headache for a day and half or I would have finished this book in two days instead of 4. My first book for the #JoysofJune Readathon. @Andrew65

The House of Lincoln is a historical fiction based on true facts of Lincoln's life in Springfield, ILL . It also talks about a little known race riot in 1908 in that happened in that town.

It's told from different view points, but the chapters aren't POV. ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read Ana, a Portuguese immigrant, that is young when her family moves to Springfield. Spenser Donnegan, a black minister and barber that helps his brother with the Underground Railroad. Mary Todd Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln's wife. With these three narrators you get a different feel for that time. The struggles each dealt with from friendships, family and love.

I wished that part of the things I read, would have been by one of the narrators instead of just facts and information. I could tell that Horan had researched this book well.

It published on June 6, 2023
