Circling the Sun by Paula McLain

3.0

McLain's fictionalized account of aviatrix Beryl Markham's life was interesting, but not quite engaging. Perhaps it was the audio version which was a bit monotone, but Markham's life which is truly remarkable in everything she accomplished at such a young age was somewhat lackluster in the telling. Markham was the first woman horse trainer in Africa, learned to fly aeroplanes and had been married twice with a child and an ongoing affair with the famed Denis Finch Hatton (as depicted by Robert Redford in Out of Africa) all before she was 30 years old.
