[edit] Summary

Abraham Lincoln, a farm boy, becomes the president of The United States. He mourns for his lost love for his whole life. He humours his colleagues in the White House while feeling like an imposter, and stays above his extremely difficult, even tragicomic marriage, while in war with the south.

[edit] History

Some early, rare copies of the book were bound with jackets containing a patch of tanned skin, a process known as anthropodermic bibliopegy. The skin, taken from a black man, was embossed with the title of the book.[1]
