Two Lives [Print Replica] Kindle Edition

by Reeve Lindbergh (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

4.6 57 ratings

See all formats and editions

Reeve Lindbergh is the youngest daughter of Charles A. and Anne
Morrow Lindbergh, two of the most famous people of the twentieth
century, who, ironically, both intensely cherished privacy. In her new
book, Lindbergh reflects on her own “Two Lives,” navigating her role as
the public face of her family while, at the same time, leading a
very quiet existence in rural Vermont.
After devoting years to keeping separate her “Lindbergh life” and her
everyday life on her farm, she now finds herself able to make peace
with her two lives. Lindbergh takes us into the National Air and Space
Museum and her kitchen drawers with equal ease, discovering that the
history-making items on display are, for her, like the memorabilia that
most families keep in the attic.
Two Lives reconciles the seemingly separate worlds of fame and
privacy, even finding a “certain sweetness” when they intersect.

“Two Lives is a beautiful essay collection: funny and wry some moments, wistful and
wise at others. Lindbergh may be the daughter of two gifted aviators, but she soars
in her own right. This book is insightful, astute, and—best of all—honest.”
—Chris Bohjalian, bestselling author of
The Flight Attendant and The Sandcastle Girls
“Humor and elegance are just two of many words to describe Reeve Lindbergh’s
Two Lives. She shares both her busy life on her beloved sheep farm and her public
life, answering the questions Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh refused to
entertain. She gives us hope for finding balance in our far too busy lives.”
—Diane Rehm, Host, “On My Mind,” WAMU/NPR

From the Inside Flap

It seems to me now that fame, like disease or war, is the enemy of normal human life. Reeve Lindbergh is the youngest daughter of Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, two of the most famous people of the twentieth century, who, ironically, both intensely cherished privacy. In her new book, Lindbergh reflects on her own Two Liveshow she navigates being the public face of her family while, at the same time, leading a very quiet existence in rural Vermont. After having devoted years to keeping separate her Lindbergh life and her everyday life on her farm, she now finds herself able to make peace with her two lives. Lindbergh takes us into the National Air and Space Museum and her kitchen drawers with equal ease, discovering that the history-making items on display are, for her, like the memorabilia that most families keep in the attic. Two Lives reconciles the seemingly separate worlds of fame and privacy, even finding a certain sweetness when they intersect. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

A few laugh out loud libes

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.

Two Lives in One

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2020

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.

Another GREAT read by Reeve Lindbergh.

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.
