4.0 out of 5 stars One finally can understand the causes of her "madness.", October 29, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Love Is Eternal (Hardcover)
All my life I believed that Mary Todd Lincoln was a mean-spirited woman who undermined her husband's successes and caused him unbearable grief in their marriage. Now, after having read this truly remarkable story of their rocky marriage, I realize that a lot of their problems were caused by Abraham Lincoln's moodiness and hypochondria. Mary longed for a more glamorous life which would have placed them in "high society." Her husband desired no such station in life and this novel does well in exposing their faults and virtues, as individuals and as a couple, and as the title implies, shows that both worked hard constantly to make their marriage successful. It is a great story of love, devotion, misery, grief, and its historical setting is the turbulent years leading up to, and including the Civil War.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb woman's view of the political times, December 1, 2000
This review is from: Love Is Eternal (Hardcover)
I read and re-read this classic. Through Irving Stone's elaborate descriptive words, I feel, see and live what Mary Todd "Molly" did. I can smell the oranges, feel the velvet dress, and experience the political turmoil of the times prior to and during the Civil War. I don't even consider this book fiction. I am a romantic at heart, and she showed true devotion and undying love for Honest Abe. She taught me traits to look for in a man, and what to overlook. I am grateful to my father for giving me this book before he passed away.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most touching books I've ever read, October 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Love Is Eternal (Hardcover)
I first read this book when I was in high school and I've never forgotten it. It's a realistic and sympathetic portrayal of Mary Todd Lincoln, a woman who suffered greatly through no real fault of her own.
