jheher 's review for:

West with the Night by Beryl Markham

4.0

---

I loved listening to this book even though it was recorded back in the days of CDs! Markham's story is one that more of us should know. She lived in a community and time where she was allowed to explore her passions without being forced into female stereotypes. She trained horses and flew airplanes when women were supposed to be that daring.

I wish she had spent more time on her friendship with Denys Finch Hatton and on her groundbreaking solo trans-Atlantic flight. The books ends too soon!
