America is into civil war when Abraham Lincoln's son Willie dies. George Saunders takes it from here and takes us from real circumstances and conditions prevailing at that time with real people and excerpts from newspapers to unreal and imaginary people with distinct and diverse stories all wound up together ultimately leading into emancipation.
This long awaited first novel from well known writer George Saunders is a brilliant work unlike anything ever published. In a scale of 20 we give it a 19.25.
