Kadomi reviewed The ambassador's daughter by Melanie Benjamin
Review of "The ambassador's daughter" on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Decent historical fiction about Anne Morrow Lindbergh, pioneering wife of Charles Lindbergh, the first pilot to do a solo flight across the Atlantic in 1927. What I am taking away from this novel is that Charles Lindbergh was an anti-semitic, real asshole, that Anne Morrow did great things in her own right, and that losing your child breaks you.
It's written from the 1st person perspective, which made me want to smack her repeatedly for being his passive wife, but I guess that was them breaks at the time (and sometimes today still). I wouldn't rush to pick up another novel by this author, but it was interesting.
