HTML:<p><b>Beryl Markham's classic, engrossing memoir—a triumph of the pioneer spirit and an adventure-charged chronicle of a life lived to the fullest</b></p> <p><br /> Beryl Markham's life was a true epic, complete with shattered societal expectations, torrid love affairs, and desperate crash landings. A rebel from a young age, the British-born Markham was raised in Kenya's unforgiving farmlands. She learned to be a bush pilot at a time when most Africans had never seen a plane. In 1936, she accepted the ultimate challenge: to fly solo across the Atlantic from east to west, a feat that fellow female aviator Amelia Earhart had completed in reverse just a few years before. Her successes and her failures—and her deep, lifelong love of the "soul of Africa"—are all chronicled here with wrenching honesty and agile wit. Hailed by <i>National Geographic</i> as one of the greatest adventure books of all time, <i>West with the Night</i> is the sweeping account of a fearless and dedicated woman.</p>. Media Type: eBook.
