Stars: 5
Review by: Shapoppa
This diary is a
very revealing look at the Lindbergh's as they struggle and cope with
the kidnapping death of their first born son. I know much has been said
about Charles Lindbergh and his stoicism
and arrogance, but I'm not getting the impression, as his
characterization in The Aviator's Wife leads you to believe, that he was
cold-hearted, unfeeling, or not suffering the profound loss of his
child. He was being strong for his wife who had withdrawn into
a serious depression as one would expect after such a tragedy. So far,
as I finish the second of the five diaries, I find that these books
would be difficult for a person to read who has never married or had
children, and hasn't yet reached middle age. I find
much wisdom in these diaries and letters that easily applies to today's
world.
