Book Review of The Aviator's Wife

The Aviator's Wife
Helpful Score: 1


Again I am sucked into a Melanie Benjamin historical fiction book. This time the narrator is Anne Morrow Lindbergh the wife of aviator Charles Lindbergh. Anne fell for Charles immediately and you might say Charles felt the same. He taught how to fly an airplane and they traveled to europe. They did married and have children. In fact the family was famous but just maybe you heard of the Lindberghs after their first son had been kidnapped.

Just like in Alice I Have Been and The Autobiography of Mrs. Tom Thumb, Melanie Benjamin creates a new voice that feel so real you cant help but in way hear the voice of Anne Lindbergh in your head. Just beautifully written and applauses for picking Anne Morrow Lindbergh as a subject to write about.

I really dont have any problems with the book except that I wanted more of it. I read this as slow as possible so I could savor it.

You can tell a lot of research goes into Melanie Benjamin book. I cant wait to see who she chooses to write about next!
