The Book Faire: The Aviator's Wife

The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin

The Aviator's Wife was a thrilling read for me, especially since I didn't know much about the Lindbergh's personal life. The emotional toll that Anne Morrow Lindbergh had to face while standing beside a husband the whole world knew and loved, is carefully crafted through Melanie's writing. I can't say enough good things about how Anne Morrow Lindbergh is written.

The best characters are those you relate to, and I definitely can relate to Anne Morrow—strong minded, independent, outwardly quiet but full of internal chatter. Her progression from a naive girl with a celebrity crush, grows to a woman who understands what the world expects from the wife of a hero.

Historical accuracy woven with a fictional flourish, propels this story forward. Romance and reality mix together to create a touching account of the lives of the Lindberghs. Their marriage was full of true drama that made their struggles and triumphs that much harsher.

I highly recommend this book! 5 x!
