The novel combines historical events with fictional narratives, as Lincoln's nightly visits to his son’s grave intersect with the experiences of the spirits in the Bardo. Themes of love, loss, duty, and the human condition are examined, as the characters grapple with their unresolved emotions and attachments to the living world.
