This Anne Morrow Lindbergh's story of her life with Charles Lindbergh, and what a difficult life she had with him, as I imagine life with a super-hero or a genius must be. Her life was given over completely to him, all decisions were made by him, she was " his crew". She learned to fly, and became his navigator. After their first child was murdered, she gave birth to five more, none of whom had any kind of a relationship with him, and indeed they almost seemed frightened by him. He had a home built for them a long way from any neighbours, so they would be safe, but they just ended up being lonely, for he was away most of the time, often not telling them where he was.
This is a story of marriage, of loss and of finally finding ones self, as Anne did. It was well- written and a pleasure to read.
