Two Lives

I got this book for myself. I love Lindberg's writing, so open and gentle, like sitting with someone who is going to become a good friend.

Everyone seems to love this lady, and several reviewer said how they would like to be her friend. She is the only one apparently of the Lindbergh children who was willing to meet the other unknown children in Europe. In my mind, that makes her rather unusual and special. The best lines in the entire book was when she mentioned that she is losing her eyelashes and wonders where they have gone. Then she says “Ah, I have found them. They are on my chin.” For those of us of a certain age we can only empathize. It was a charming book and I enjoyed reading it.

I recently read No More Words by the same author and wanted to follow with this book, having enjoyed the account of her mother's last years and Reeve's life on a small farm in Vermont peopled by now-familiar family and friends.When I began I was a bit let down that the two lives would not be hers and that of her mother but her own writing life and the many other aspects of her existence.By the time I got to the third page, delight replaced disappointment. This work absorbed me every bit as much as her other efforts and those of her mother. The apple, indeed, does not fall far from the tree.I found ideas and attitudes which will help me when I put on my writing cap and find it's the only one I need. Many thanks, dear Reeve.

Reading a book by Reeve Lindbergh is like having a conversation with a good friend. Her writing is honest, humorous, and poignant. A book I will reread, and treasure for its wisdom.

I enjoy reading Reeve Lindbergh’s books. Her writing style is interesting and comfortable reading.

A beautiful reflection on life, Patty and present, the author's life, her parents' lives, and somehow, even our own lives

I really enjoyed reading this book. (just as I have enjoyed reading her earlier books) After reading the chapter "Swimming in the Archives" I was inspired to watch the 1957 movie, The Spirit of St. Louis, with Jimmy Stewart starring as Charles Lindbergh. (I enjoyed the movie.)I recommend this book for readers who are familiar with her writing and are hoping for something new.And I recommend this book for those readers who are interested in Charles Lindbergh and his family.

Wonderful book by Reeve Lindbergh, daughter of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Many of us Baby Boomers will recognize ourselves, our parents and the stage of our life
