elemmire 's review for:
The Aviator's Wife
by Melanie Benjamin
First thoughts.
I loved the story. You don't often get the story of the nearly invisible wife. I had no idea she could fly. The author's note at the end made me think of all the other people in history that we only learn so very little about.
I enjoyed the style of writing as well. It just seemed to flow in a nice order. She builds things up well.
I love how Ann is always wondering who she is supposed to be. I feel like many people, especially shy people, struggle with this far too often. I'm almost 30 and still ask myself "Is this something I really like? Or do I like it because the person I love likes it?"
Second thought.
In this book, Charles was the definition of emotional abuse. He was so controlling, degrading, humiliating, and only happy when Ann did as she was told. It made me think of my own poor relationships and wonder if I could have lived with it as long as she did. Probably not without a lot of alcohol.
