Description
Anne Morrow Lindbergh, prolific writer and aviator, achieved her distinguished career without the support system available to female artists today. Her flyboy husband, Charles, recognized her talent but failed to acknowledge the particular needs of a female writer and parent. So when the opportunity arose to meet French writer, aviator and creative soul mate Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Morrow Lindbergh jumped at it. North reimagines this one-time encounter; Jennifer Schlueter’s script intelligently addresses the complexities of the Lindberghs’ work, married life and politics. Christina Ritter’s appealing, vulnerable Morrow Lindbergh captures a woman torn apart by ambition, yearning and grief.—LB
