Summary: a hero of mine
Comment: So I was a 12 year old tom boy looking for a hero and stumbled upon this bio. What Luck! I honestly can't remember reading of a person more adept at living, more intrinsically intersting and eccletic than Beryl Markham. Those looking for a quick fix can look at it like a story somewhere between Annie Oakley and a Barbra Stanwyk character. I'm 23 now and she's still a hero of mine. PS read West with Night before you order this.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: well done
Comment: a book that only made me want to read more! on to read West with the Night and other Kenyan stories.
