Have any of you read "The Aviator's Wife" by Melanie Benjamin? The book is about Charles Lindbergh and his wife Anne Morrow Lindbergh. I just finished reading the book. Interesting, indeed! I had no idea Charles Lindbergh had so many children!

I have a hold at the library for this book. Can't wait until it comes in. Have you read any of her other books? She has some good books.

No, Judy, I haven't read any of her other books. Let me know when you finish "The Aviator's Wife". I'd like to know what you think of the book.

Finished listening to this book and really enjoyed it. I especially appreciated the afterword where the author listed where she strayed from their true story. I thought she did a wonderful job of capturing the essence of Anne and Charles Lindbergh.

i'll have to get that one......i used to live in new jersey. at one time i bought one of the victorian homes on the main street of flemington, nj down the street from the court house where the "lindbergh trial" took place. the old woman that i bought the home from told me that they had rented out some rooms to reporters covering the "trial of the century"----at least it was at that time!
