Interpretation During Books The Aviator's Wife
In the spirit of Loving Frank and The Paris Wife, acclaimed novelist Melanie Benjamin pulls back the curtain on the marriage of one of America’s most extraordinary couples: Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. When Anne Morrow, a shy college senior with hidden literary aspirations, travels to Mexico City to spend Christmas with her family, she meets Colonel Charles Lindbergh, fresh off his celebrated 1927 solo flight across the Atlantic. Enthralled by Charles’s assurance and fame, Anne is certain the aviator has scarcely noticed her. But she is wrong. Charles sees in Anne a kindred spirit, a fellow adventurer, and her world will be changed forever. The two marry in a headline-making wedding. In the years that follow, Anne becomes the first licensed female glider pilot in the United States. But despite this and other major achievements, she is viewed merely as the aviator’s wife. The fairy-tale life she once longed for will bring heartbreak and hardships, ultimately pushing her to reconcile her need for love and her desire for independence, and to embrace, at last, life’s infinite possibilities for change and happiness.

Find the enhanced version of this and other reviews at: http://flashlightcommentary.blogspot....I was excited about getting the chance to read The Aviator's Wife before the official release. Really excited. What I wasn't expecting was how much I would outright enjoy Melanie Benjamin's interpretation of Anne Morrow Lindbergh. From the moment her engagement was announced in the papers, the real Anne Morrow was defined by her relationship with Charles. Even today her story lives largely in theThis is a fictional account of the famous Lindbergh marriage, told from the point of view of Anne Morrow Lindbergh, the shy, bookish daughter of an ambassador and a suffragette, who captures the attention of the most eligible bachelor in the world. Charles Lindbergh, the aviation pioneer, is a reserved, complicated man, and a difficult husband to manage, particularly after the horrific kidnapping and murder of their firstborn child. The novel doesn't lack for plot - the Lindberghs lived through
Really strong Historical fiction. At first I didn't think I liked how anti-feminist it seemed to be, but then it really knocked me on my ass and became a really strong female empowerment story. I really didn't know much about the Lindbergh's and only had a small interest in them. But what I found most fascinating was the outlines aabout the birth of the paparazzi in their story. They were the first power couple to have their lives become so public that they couldn't have anything sacred and
This book is turning out to be both a serious drag and a disappointment. Poorly edited, with lots of bad grammar unbefitting an ambassador's daughter and a Smithie in the 1920s.I doubt very much at this point that I'll bother with finishing it. But we'll see......Apparently the story was sticking with me more than I thought, and I kind of wanted to at least get to the kidnapping part of the story, and that's when the interest level kicked in for me. Anne Lindbergh still made me want to slap her
The Aviator's WifebyMelanie BenjaminMy " in a nutshell" summary...This is a novel about Anne Morrow...how she met and married Charles Lindbergh and the life they shared..the joys...their sorrows...their tragedies. My thoughts after reading this book...My first surprise was the gentle way this novel reached out to me. From the start I understood that Anne Morrow felt differently about life. She wasn't as pretty and popular as her sisters...she was quiet...introspective...probably a bit insecure
4.5 stars! This was an engrossing, fascinating and educative novel!This book tells the story of Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Anne Morrow was the quiet daughter of the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, who shocked many when she married Colonel Charles Lindbergh (Lucky Lindy). Charles Lindbergh became famous after flying the first solo non-stop transatlantic flight between North America and mainland Europe in 1927.Prior to reading this novel, I had very little knowledge of the Lindberghs. Their romance was a
4.5 stars - Incredible. I really loved it.Prior to reading this historical fiction novel, I knew very little about the Lindberghs; only that he was a record setting aviator and that they had a child whom had been kidnapped for ransom money...and I knew absolutely nothing about Charles' remarkable wife, Anne. I felt a bit better about this ignorance however, when I read in the author's note that many people today are only vaguely familiar with the Lindbergh story. If that is also the case for
