casmsmith123 's review for:
The Aviator's Wife
by Melanie Benjamin
I was surprised to find myself sincerely choked up at the end of this book. It was a much more difficult (emotionally) read than I was prepared for, I think because I identified A LOT with many of the points the narrator.
This story is a fictional biography of a real person, Anne Morrow Lindbergh (wife of Charles Lindbergh) and it's clear that the author is doing the hard sell to make Anne "the good guy". I feel like she goes to extraordinary lengths to excuse some choices the real Anne made that were hard for me personally to swallow, but she does it in plausible ways.
Aside from those obvious pushes and some repetitive prose, I found this book to be very well written, easy to immerse myself in, and incredibly interesting. I want to add the real Anne's book, "Gift From the Sea", after reading this.
