Book Review of The Aviator's Wife

The Aviator's Wife
reviewed on + 279 more book reviews


Had high hopes for enjoying this book, as I enjoy reading works by Melanie Benjamin, and I love aviation. Of course, many of us know a little about Charles Lindbergh and his wife Anne Morrow Lindbergh, his and her famous aviation feats, the tragic loss of their child, etc. But the true personalities of these individuals kept me from enjoying the read.
Charles was a cold and manipulating bully, and Anne was just so spineless that I couldn't feel any empathy for either of them. Almost made it to the half-way mark (page 142) when I gave up.
