Anne Morrow Lindbergh thought her life would follow the appropriate trajectory for the the daughter of an ambassador in the 1920s: she would graduate from college after studying classical literature and marry into an appropriately wealthy family. But "Lucky Lindy," Charles Lindbergh, the first man to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, saw a fellow adventurer in Anne. After a brief courtship they began a married life of flying and exploring. Regrettably, their fame attracted the kind of attention that led to the kidnapping and death of their firstborn son. Anne had many achievements in her own right and her book, Gift from the Sea, has become a classic. Narrator Lorna Raver provides excellent transition from Anne's educated East Coast voice to Charles's earnest, reedy Midwestern tones.
VERDICT A highly recommended fictionalized biography that will inspire listeners to explore further Anne Morrow Lindbergh's fascinating and challenging life. ["Well researched and paced, this novel will certainly spark readers' interest in learning more about this famous couple," read the review of the New York Times best-selling Delacorte hc, LJ 12/12.—Ed.]
