Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders (2017)

The novel follows the story of President Abraham Lincoln's struggle with the death of his beloved son Willie.

It is set in a Georgetown graveyard, where Willie's spirit is trapped in the bardo, a transitional state between life and death.

As Lincoln visits the graveyard to mourn his son, the ghosts of the graveyard come to life and tell their stories.

Through the voices of the ghosts, Saunders explores themes of death, grief, and the power of collective memory.

The ghosts tell stories of their lives and deaths, as well as the events leading up to the Civil War.

The novel also looks at the power of love, and its ability to transcend death and grief.

The novel is a combination of historical fiction and magical realism, with Saunders blending the two genres to tell a unique story.
