Found on Earlyword:
The USA Today noted The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin as a exciting upcoming title. The review called it right in this case. Benjamin fully captures the time and place of Lindberg's early fame. The author goes beyond the headlines and kidnapping. She focuses on Anne's character as she grows from a timid young adult into a confident mature woman. Through the fictionalized events of Anne Lindberg's life, we see how she changes and how the world around her changes as well. I felt the author really did justice to this complex story.
This book reads like a book I recently reviewed on Goodreads: Lillian and Dash, which brings the relationship between Lillian Hellman and Dashiell Hammet to life with a strong sense of the historical context which shaped the major events in their lives.
