kimbongiorno 's review for:

The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin

4.0

---

A book club selection. I normally am not into historical fiction, but this one grabbed me right away. I didn't know too much about the Lindberghs, other than the historical flight and a slight recollection of the "Lindbergh baby," so this opened my eyes to the many accomplishments of Anne Morrow Lindbergh. I put the book down when it was over, and did some research on her to see what was fact and what was fiction, and she blew me away. Hard to put down, once you get about 25% in. I read this over a weekend, and was brought right into the plane, the home, the heartbreak of Anne.
