February 14, 2017
Written by the Folio Prize winner, the book follows the whispered story about former US President Abraham Lincoln. His son, young Willie is wracked by an illness and soon dies. Legend has it that the President visited the crypt at night and in his grief would hold the dead boy’s body. The story follows the soul of Willie who is trapped in a new world of the dead and the living world he knew? The story flows over one question: How do we love when we know that ultimately we will be separated when one of us dies?
