This was a wonderful revelation of self, full of disingenuous impressions and astute observations about people, cultures, and conditions. What a lucid and personal tone. Reminds me of my grandmother, who was also a young woman in that era, telling of her adventures and laughing at herself instead of trying to dramatize the events. The tiny chapter devoted to the word "sayonara" is utterly poignant. I will have to read more of her work.

Marvelous book by the wife of Charles Lindburgh. The book is not so much a story as a collection of her thoughts as the two of them traveled in a small plane from New York to China. Her descriptions are so vivid I felt like I was there!

Lindbergh's wife Anne Morrow learned Morse code and was the radio operator as Charles Lindbergh mapped out the polar route that all the jets use today to fly to Asia. I saw their plane in the Smithsonian.

I found an old copy of this and have loved it for its record and truth. Is there any voyage devoid of peril?

I liked her journals better, which also cover this trip she took with Charles Lindbergh.
