It was only toward the end of the book that I realized how much tension had been generated, how engrossed I was in the characters, how much I cared about their fates."–The New York Times Book Review For Jeff Johnston, a young historical reseacher for a Civil War novelist, reality is redefined on a bitter cold night near the close of a lingering winter. He meets Annie, an intense and lovely young woman suffering from vivid, intense nightmares. Haunted by the dreamer and her unrelenting dreams, Jeff leads Annie on an emotional odyssey through the heartland of the Civil War in search of a cure. On long-silenced battlefields their relationship blossoms–two obsessed lovers linked by unbreakable chains of history, torn by a duty that could destroy them both. Suspenseful, moving, and highly compelling, Lincoln’s Dreams is a novel of rare imaginative power. 25743 book 1987 Lincoln's Dreams total:616|5:112|4:208|3:213|2:69|1:14| 616 2183 786 59 1 2 false false Fri Apr 22 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Sat Mar 22 15:20:48 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 22 15:21:56 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 1 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2001 Sat Nov 17 13:08:04 -0800 2007 Sat Nov 17 13:08:26 -0800 2007 To Say Nothing of the Dog" as was vastly dissapointed. Too many bland characters. Too many unexplained motives or actions---what was the deal with Richard? Why did he do what he did? And Annie had no life at all. Very flat. Jeff was good.

I had high hopes for this, and the first half was interesting enough-and gave the story the ability to be great, but I think it just fell through, at least for me.
