The Aviator's Wife
by Melanie Benjamin
I DNFed this but I wasted a couple of weeks on it so Im counting it toward my challenge total.
This is a story about a woman with a bad husband who never did anything about it. He just sucked but she never stood up to him and never examines why. It got too much for me when his Nazi sympathizer arc came up and she just kind of sighed about it. Stopped reading after that because like, what more could you possibly say. How am I supposed to sympathize or feel bad for this woman who stayed with a NAZI SYMPATHIZER. And we know she never does anything about it and stays with him until he dies because of the interludes so....I'm out.
Two stars because the writing isn't terrible, but the main character is insipid and this book does nothing to overcome her legacy as an accessory of her husband.
