Lily Koppel

The idea of this book was appealing: the description of a young woman living the high life in 1920's Manhattan was interesting but I felt the editor was dragging out a smaller book.

On the plus side, it reads really fast and doesn't make you think too much.

I enjoyed this book, it gave me great insight in to how the austronaut's wives really lived, versus how their lives were portrayed. I had a hard time keeping track of who was whom since there were so many astronauts and wives mentioned, but it was very informative on an era I knew very little about.

Great coverage of what the families of heroes had to contend with, what they gained and what they lost.
