The Astronaut Wives Club

I "sort of" read The Astronaut Wives Club by Lily Koppel. Having heard the author on NPR and a few of the women on CBS Sunday Morning, I thought this would be a compelling book to read. I'm often interested in reading the woman's story, since often the history we read/learn/hear about is really HIS story. What could have been a great narrative non-fiction was, at times, rather bland. I wish the author would have instilled a greater sense of urgency and tension. It seemed like opportunities for great storytelling was wasted. While I admire the women and their survival under incredibly difficult circumstances, I feel like the story could have been told better.
