The Aviator's Wife
by Melanie Benjamin
Loved this book. Gave it a 4/5 (high for me) because only time will tell whether it becomes a 5/5.
From the cover and the title, I thought it might have been boring with lots of technical flying details, but there was so much more to her life than that. At times I was frustrated by Anne's compliant nature, but, I kept reminding myself, things were so much different for women back then. In the end, she emerged as very much her own woman - a case of what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a kick-ass story tempered with a healthy dose of realism. I am looking forward to reading Anne Lindbergh's Gifts from the Sea.
