I can't say how much I learned from and enjoyed this audio. The only thing that kept it from being 5 stars was a certain bit of repetitiveness. (OK, OK, Amelia had "level grey eyes", UNCLE!) Part of it was due to the structure of the book. Butler followed themes, sometimes from start to finish, so certain bits were repeated, and at times, the chronology was hard to figure out since it went back and forth a lot. But overall, you really should read (or listen, Anna Fields is a great narrator, something like a cross between Kate Hepburn and Kate Mulgrew)this book, even if you THINK you know Amelia Earhart. She was so much more than I think she has ever been given credit for, and Butler really brings that out. First rate. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
HTML: Amelia Earhart captured the hearts of the nation after becoming the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic in 1928—and her disappearance on an around-the-world flight in 1937 is an enduring mystery. The image we have of Amelia Earhart today—a tousle-haired, androgynous flier clad in shirt, silk scarf, leather jacket, and goggles—is only one of her many personas, most of which have been lost to us over time. Through years of research and interviews with many of the surviving people who knew Amelia, Susan Butler has recreated a remarkably vivid and multifaceted portrait of this enigmatic figure. Listeners will experience Amelia in all her permutations: not just as a pilot but also as an educator, a social worker, a lecturer, a businesswoman, and a tireless promoter of women's rights. We experience a remarkably energetic and enterprising woman who battled incredible odds to achieve her fame, succeeded beyond her wildest dreams, and yet never lost sight of her beginnings, ensuring that her success would secure a path for women after her. This richly textured biography is the perfect complement to the 2009 film Amelia, starring Hilary Swank, Richard Gere, and Ewan McGregor. . Nonfiction.
