Description
The forty-five-year marriage of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh was one of the great love stories of the century outlasting the traumatic kidnapping and murder of their infant child and the storm of criticism sparked by their brief involvement in the America First movement on the eve of U.S. entry into World War II. Beginning with Charles's Midwestern childhood and the story of Anne's very different experience as the daughter of a wealthy Eastern banking family, Loss of Eden traces Lindy's career as an aviator and Anne's as a writer. Drawing on newly available documentary evidence as well as on her own investigative research, Milton offers us the most intimate portrait ever in the first dual biography of this fascinating, often enigmatic couple.
