In the spirit of American Wife and The Paris Wife, Melanie Benjamin (Alice I Have Been, The Autobiography of Mrs. Tom Thumb) reveals the story behind one of America's most remarkable marriages-Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh-two aviators, thrill-seekers, heroes-and reveals both its dizzying highs and devastating lows with grace, insight, and stunning power.
It was the most famous marriage of the twentieth century-that of Charles Lindbergh, the handsome young aviator who changed the course of history and Anne Spencer Morrow, the shy, naive ambassador's daughter. It was a picture-book marriage that prevailed through wild international acclaim and vilification, death-defying flights, and a kidnapping that stunned the world. Their every act and gesture was captured by an insatiable press. Melanie Benjamin deftly peers into the fairy tale that is the marriage of one of America's most famous couples, and brings gorgeous insight into two compelling lives.
