Beryl Markham’s West with the Night is a luminous memoir of journey, courage, and independence set in early twentieth-century Africa. Born in England however raised in Kenya, Markham captures a lifestyles lived boldly on the brink of exploration. She recounts her unconventional formative years, her work as a horse trainer, and her pioneering profession as one of the first girl bush pilots. With poetic prose, she brings to existence the landscapes of East Africa and the thrill of flight, culminating in her ancient solo transatlantic adventure from east to west. More than an autobiography, that is a meditation on freedom, resilience, and the decision of the unknown. Hemingway praised it as one of the best books ever written approximately aviation and Africa.
