Review: Lincoln in the Bardo

Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders
My rating: 2 of 5 stars


This George Saunders tale starts with a older man with a much younger wife who have a Platonic relationship, just as this is about to get physical he dies. From then on I found this to be just a jumble of small paragraphs, each a different voice telling the tale , from a graveyard about the death of Lincoln’s son and the utter grief and pain of losing a son. I found it too difficult to follow and felt it just didn’t flow, I realise this is the style but just not for me.


I would like to thank the author/publisher/NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a fair and honest review
