In February 1862, amidst the bloody American Civil War, President Lincoln's twelve-year-old son falls gravely ill and passes away. The body of young Willie is moved to a cemetery in Georgetown, where a devastated Lincoln visits the grave to be near his son. From this historical event, George Saunders constructs an unforgettable story about love and loss, delving into the supernatural. Willie Lincoln finds himself in the Bardo, an intermediate state between life and death according to Tibetan tradition, where ghosts gather to lament and laugh at what they left behind. In this limbo, a titanic struggle arises from the soul of young Willie.
