The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin

5.0

This historical fiction book absolutely captivated me. There is so much about the Lindberghs that I did not know -- the celebrity and hounding by the public, the kidnapping, the isolationism and anti-Semitism, the affairs. While Anne was at times portrayed in this book in a frustrating way, I think her weakness and inability to stand up for herself (and her children) was a sign of the times. A great book with tremendous insights into marriage; makes me want to learn more about these flawed and complex people.
