The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin
3.0
What I DID like: Until I read this book, I didn't know how little I knew about the Lindberghs: flight across the ocean, kidnapping of their baby, and "Gifts from the Sea." I love learning history through novels... Not just about specific people but also the atmosphere of the times. The author of this novel did a great job at painting their story in their time.
What I did NOT like: I found that I didn't like Charles and Ann. In fact, I disliked them. I don't want to put any spoilers in here, so I won't go into detail. I had never idolized them, so I wasn't disappointed, but I was surprised by how not hero-like they both were. Not feeling sympathetic toward the lead characters made it very difficult to enjoy the book as a whole.
