Lincoln's Dreams

Lincoln's Dreams is a 1987 novel about a historical researcher studying the U.S. Civil War who meets a young woman who seems to be dreaming General Lee's dreams. Connie Willis brings to her writing a sense of realism and apparently detailed research into historical aspects of her fiction. This book is about parapsychology, metaphysical speculations, death, and love.

Lincoln's Dreams won the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in 1988, and was nominated for the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel that same year.
