Mrs. Lincoln’s Sisters: A Novel

[Susan Higginbotham]

I just finished this. I enjoyed it, but the title is somewhat misleading because it really focuses on Mary's insanity trial and the aftermath seen through the viewpoint of her sisters, with flashbacks to various well-known incidents such as Emilie's White House stay. Still, the personalities of the various sisters are brought out, and it was nice to see Frances and Ann, who usually get ignored, given more attention.
