The Aviator's Wife
by Melanie Benjamin
An imagined autobiography of Anne Lindbergh, wife of famous aviator Charles. Anne was the plain second daughter of an ambassador, who surprisingly becomes engaged to Charles Lindbergh in the time after his famous flight across the Atlantic. Anne is serious and capable, but ultimately a people-pleaser. She learns to fly planes with Charles and accompanies him on record-breaking flights, although she remains for many people a home maker and trophy wife. The heart breaking loss of their son Charlie forever changes both she and Charles, and as he becomes hardened and spends more time away from home, she finds a way to build a life for herself and her children. Got better as it went on, and by the end I was enchanted by this character, after earlier being a bit annoyed by her insipid character. Lovely.
