The Aviator's Wife

13642950

The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin 

Anne Morrow, the shy daughter of the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, has always been happy to stay in the shadows of her popular father and out-going older sister.  Now as a college senior, traveling to Mexico to spend Christmas with her family, Anne is about to have a life changing experience.  During this Christmas vacation she will meet the famous Charles Lindbergh.

This book is a fictional biography of Anne Morrow Lindbergh who was married to the famous aviator, Charles Lindbergh.  I was able to learn about this couple as I checked back and forth on the facts, to see what was real and what was fiction. The book did a great job of sparking my curiosity.

I also enjoyed exploring the marriage and family dynamics and it gave me much to ponder on how a marriage can shift and change through the years, and the importance of communication in a marriage.
There was also much to ponder on the job of mothering and how different people handle adversity.

This was a fascinating read and can be found in the adult fiction section of the library.
