I hadn't yet read The Aviator's Wife and didn't know a lot about Charles' history. I do think the audio is much better, in spite of that knowledge.<br /><br />I love that Buddha, too. I spotted him at a nearby nursery a few years ago.

I'd probably check it out again but isn't it so interesting how something a book we loved may not have such a special place in our heart after a re-read many years later? We grow and change so I guess that makes sense.

It was strange reading Anne's beautiful prose and wondering about the enigmatic Charles.
