West with the Night by Beryl Markham
2.0

Rambling. Odd. Dense. 1.5 stars. In spite of a few lovely phrases here and there I felt that the book seemed to have no goal or story line. It reads more like a wandering mind aimlessly tossing out memories. The mismatch of being an elephant spotter while decrying elephant hunting is one example. Given the time period I am sure she didn't see the casual racism that runs through many of the stories either. The back cover review didn't match the way the book read to me.
