A lyrical, adventure-rich memoir of Beryl Markham’s upbringing in Kenya as a horse trainer and bush pilot, culminating in her becoming the first woman—and first person—to fly solo non-stop east-to-west across the Atlantic. The book is praised for its poetic prose, vividly evoking the landscapes, people, and resilience of East Africa. Ernest Hemingway famously lauded it: “She can write rings around all of us.”
