A review by kmthoennes
The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin

4.0

I did not know what to expect when I started reading this book because I knew very little about the Lindbergh's, but I found this book to be an interesting read. It was heartbreaking for several reasons. The main reason was because the relationship between Charles and his wife Anne was just depressing. Part of that probably was the time in history and the role of women, but part of it was Charles' closed-off and troubled personality. This is definitely historical fiction, so most of the book is just the writer's imagination. I wonder how far off she was or if it was at all what was truly felt by Anne Morrow Lindbergh. This book made me want to learn more about the Lindbergh's.
