Publisher's summary

For Jeff Johnston, a young historical researcher 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.

Good story, unfortunate narration

I enjoyed the story a lot, but it was hard to listen to. The narrator has a really grating habit of dragging out the sound of the last syllable at the end of nearly every sentence. If you’re new to Connie Willis, maybe don’t start here. To Say Nothing of the Dog, Black Out / All Clear, and Crosstalk are all excellent places to start reading (or listening to) your new favorite author.

Did not like the narrator at all. She did not do either the author or the story justice.

I hate to say this, but the narration is pretty awful. I love Connie Willis, but the narrator kept bringing me out of the story. It’s unfortunate, since my eyes don’t work very well these days, but I would rather read this book myself.
