Circling the Sun by Paula McLain

4.0

If they had half stars I would be giving this a four and a half! Paula McLain wrote the wonderful Mrs. Hemingway about Hadley, Hemingway's first wife and she doesn't disappoint in her fictionalized account of Beryl Markham. Markham was a Brit raised in Kenya and was a pioneer in so many ways including being the first woman to fly across the Atlantic from west to east. She was also a racehorse trainer, author and bush pilot. Beryl also had her share of husbands and lovers alike. McLain does an amazing job bringing Beryl to life and hopefully will lead you to also read Beryl Markham's autobiography West With The Night.
