The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin
4.0
I personally had no knowledge on Charles Lindbergh aside from the fact that he was a pilot and flew somewhere important. This book gave me a totally different perspective that I could have never even guessed.
I have never really read historical fiction, but this book may have changed my opinion about it. I really enjoyed being able to read something that was giving me tons of facts while making it into a story. It definitely did not feel as though I was reading from a history textbook.
This book is told from the point of view of Anne Marrow Lindbergh, the wife of Charles Lindbergh. It detailed the many events that happened throughout their marriage ranging from flights they took together, to the kids they had and events within that. Not only did it talk about the important things that anyone from the outside would know, it also showed the inside of their relationship. The controlling side of Charles Lindbergh that no one knew about. He was America's hero, but on the inside, he definitely was not.
I recommend this read to anyone interested in learning some history as well as enjoying a good story line. I am definitely glad I was told about it and picked it up.
