Title: Great Historical Novel
Review: I have read the historic novel "My Name Was Mary" by Gayle Rogers & find it to be most interesting, historically accurate in the context of an historic novel, and an easy to read. Ms Rogers has gathered information about the personal life of Abraham Lincoln and his family, & has tied them into Civil War activities in an insightful way through the eye's of President Lincoln wife Mary Todd Lincoln.Ms Rogers has used both factual & fanciful information and imagination in a perfectly delicate mix to place together a novel with an historical emphasis that is hard to put down; but that has natural chapter breaks which allow the reader to feel comfortable if he feels the need to fall asleep in peace at the end of each.I fully recommend reading this book for an insight into the life of our country and its president during this very trying time in our country's history
