Mary（ISBN=） 英文原版

**DEBUT FICTION** Mary Todd Lincoln is one of history’s most
misunderstood and enigmatic women. The first president’s wife to be
called First Lady, she was a political strategist, a supporter of
emancipation, and a mother who survived the loss of three children
and the assassination of her beloved husband. Yet she also ran her
family into debt, held seances in the White House, and was
committed to an insane asylum. In Janis Cooke Newman’s debut novel,
Mary Todd Lincoln shares the story of her life in her own words.
Writing from Bellevue Place asylum, she takes readers from her
tempestuous childhood in a slaveholding Southern family through the
years after her husband’s death. A dramatic tale filled with
passion and depression, poverty and ridicule, infidelity and
redemption, Mary allows us entry into the inner, intimate world of
this brave and fascinating woman.
