Interpretation As 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.Rating Regarding Books Love is Eternal

This is the best book I have read portraying the life of Mary Todd Lincoln. I believe ti reveals a more balanced insight into the family relations. They lived during one of the most difficult times of our Nation.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.
Liked this but not as much as other Lincoln books
A bit stereotypical, a bit too romanticised, a bit too much man speaking on behalf of a woman and her feelings, yet interesting, with nice historical overview.
This is a very readable novel detailing the lives of Mr. and Mrs. President Lincoln told from the perspective of Mary Todd Lincoln. It begins with her as a eligible young lady pursued by many in her hometown in Kentucky and continues as she travels to Springfield , Illinois where she stays with her married sister and family and where she meets Abraham. It continues with the years of their many political failures and their few successes during which she always encouraged his continuing the quest
I first read this book when I was 17 years old. I was given an old hard copy of it a year or so ago. I just finished it last week.This is the love story of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln. It is wonderful. I love the history that is blended into the story. It is historically accurate, as Mr. Stone used old letters and journals to create the dialog.It is a timeless love story that is especially poignant, becasue we all know how the story ended. I cried as if I had no idea what was coming.One of my
