Resumen del Editor
When Mary Todd meets Abraham Lincoln in Springfield in the winter of 1840, he is on no one's shortlist to be president. Rough and reticent, he's a country lawyer lacking money and manners, living above a dry goods shop, but with a gift for oratory. Mary, a quick, self-possessed debutante with a tireless interest in debates and elections, at first finds him an enigma. "I can only hope," she tells his roommate, the handsome, charming Joshua Speed, "that his waters being so very still, they also run deep."
It's not long, though, before she sees the Lincoln that Speed knows: a man who, despite his awkwardness, is amiable and profound, with a gentle wit to match his genius and a respect for her keen political mind. But as her relationship with Lincoln deepens, she must confront his inseparable friendship with Speed, who has taught his roommate how to dance, dress, and navigate the polite society of Springfield.
Told in the alternating voices of Mary Todd and Joshua Speed, and rich with historical detail, Courting Mr. Lincoln creates a sympathetic and complex portrait of Mary unlike any that has come before; a moving portrayal of the deep and very real connection between the two men; and most of all, an evocation of the unformed man who would grow into one of the nation's most beloved presidents.

Historia
When the Duke of Lexington meets the mysterious Baroness von Seidlitz-Hardenberg on a transatlantic liner, he is fascinated. She’s exactly what he’s been searching for - a beautiful woman who interests and entices him. He falls hard and fast - and soon proposes marriage. And then she disappears without a trace.… For in reality, the "baroness" is Venetia Easterbrook - a proper young widow who had her own vengeful reasons for instigating an affair with the duke. But the plan has backfired. Venetia has fallen in love with the man she despised - and there’s no telling what might happen when she is finally unmasked….

Historia
Although it is little known in this country, The Belly of Paris is considered one of Émile Zola’s best novels. Set in the newly built food markets of Paris, it is a story of wealth and poverty set against a sumptuous banquet of food and commerce. Having just escaped from prison after being wrongfully accused, young Florent arrives at Paris’ food market, Les Halles, half starved, surrounded by all he can’t have, and indignant at his world, which he now knows to be unjust. He finds that the city’s working classes have been displaced to make way for bigger streets and bourgeois living quarters, so he settles in with his brother’s family.

Historia
Ghost stories date back centuries, but those written in the Victorian era have a unique atmosphere and dark beauty. Michael Sims, whose previous Victorian collections Dracula’s Guest (vampires) and The Dead Witness (detectives) have been widely praised, has gathered twelve of the best stories about humanity’s oldest supernatural obsession. The Phantom Coach includes tales by a surprising and often legendary cast, including Charles Dickens, Margaret Oliphant, Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, and Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as lost gems by forgotten masters such as Mary E. Wilkins Freeman and W. F. Harvey. Amelia B. Edwards’s chilling story gives the collection its title, while Ambrose Bierce ("The Moonlit Road"), Elizabeth Gaskell ("The Old Nurse’s Story"), and W. W. Jacobs ("The Monkey’s Paw") will turn you white as a sheet. With a skillful introduction to the genre and notes on each story by Sims, The Phantom Coach is a spectacular collection of ghostly Victorian thrills.

In September of 1892, Oscar Wilde and his family retreated to the idyllic Norfolk countryside for a holiday. His wife, Constance, has every reason to be happy: two beautiful sons, a stellar reputation as an advocate for progressive causes, and a delightfully charming and affectionate husband and father, who is perhaps the most famous man in England. But as an assortment of houseguests arrive, including an aristocratic young wannabe poet named Lord Alfred Douglas, Constance gradually—and then all at once—comes to see that her husband's heart is elsewhere.

Historia
It's the Christmas season, and Mr. Timothy Cratchit, not the pious child the world thought he was, has just buried his father. He's also struggling to bury his past as a cripple and shed his financial ties to his benevolent "Uncle" Ebenezer by losing himself in the thick of London's underbelly. He boards at a brothel in exchange for teaching the mistress how to read and spends his nights dredging the Thames for dead bodies and the treasures in their pockets.

Historia
In September of 1892, Oscar Wilde and his family retreated to the idyllic Norfolk countryside for a holiday. His wife, Constance, has every reason to be happy: two beautiful sons, a stellar reputation as an advocate for progressive causes, and a delightfully charming and affectionate husband and father, who is perhaps the most famous man in England. But as an assortment of houseguests arrive, including an aristocratic young wannabe poet named Lord Alfred Douglas, Constance gradually—and then all at once—comes to see that her husband's heart is elsewhere.

Historia
When the body of a suicide victim disappears at West Point Military Academy in 1831, only to be discovered hours later missing its heart, the Academy calls on retired detective Gus Landor to investigate. Landor is something of a legend among his peers, noted for an uncanny, Holmesian ability to read people. When Edgar Allan Poe, a new cadet, comes forth with his own cryptic conclusion—that the man Landor is looking for is a poet—Landor is intrigued and enlists Poe as his assistant.

Interesting
Having read many books about Mary and Abraham Lincoln, this book was interesting but added nothing that I did not already know about them. I did not know about Joshua Speed's life after he returned to his Farmington Plantation which is now the renowned Speed Museum.

Great job capturing personalities
After having read other works on Lincoln (everything from Sandburg’s dry 3-volume biography to Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, I feel that this novel did a really nice job capturing the personalities of each historical figure. I was especially impressed with the way Lincoln’s low self-esteem and depression were handled.

Could not have been better!
Louis Bayard's account of Lincoln's bachelorhood, courtship, and rise to the forefront of a troubled nation rings with the everyday truth of a young man on his way to a future we know, but which he had no idea of at the time. Bayard helps us to see beyond that terrible future to become aquainted with the every day life and character of three young people facing an uncertain future, as all of us do: Lincoln, Mary and the storekeeper with whom Lincoln lived. Bayard gives us history minus the coming tragedies and genuine human characters with whose tensions and dellights we can relate. He brings this era and story to living reality.

Great read. I highly recommended
I’m always a bit Leary of historical fiction, tending to confuse fiction with fact. Knowing that it is a work of fiction, though I enjoyed this book thoroughly. It is mostly based on Mary Todd Lincoln which I have always been fascinated with. From her young years as a bright, fun loving, politically informed young woman to the end of her days. Losing three sons and Lincoln. A full yet ultimately, heartbreaking life.

Very Entertaining
This is not what I would usually listen to but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I found myself rooting for Lincoln and Mary to get together. The different perspectives of Joshua and Mary added to the storyline and character development. And you couldn't have picked better narrators! Well done Louis!

A different view of the Lincoln legend
Quite interesting alternate view of Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd. Interesting because this telling makes Lincoln the love object ! of two people, Mary Todd and Joshua Speed, Lincoln’s friend and roommate before marriage to MT. I did find the book to be a bit over-long, and neither narrator is a favorite, but still an engaging and interesting look at one of America’s greatest statesmen.
