katejolley 's review for:
West with the Night
by Beryl Markham
A beautifully written memoir filled with adventure and excitement, which was a refreshing change from some of the more trauma-focused biographies I’ve slogged through recently. This book was both thrilling and lyrical, combining a truly impressive life with truly impressive writing skills. I was blown away by Markham’s resistance to stagnancy, her acceptance of change, and, quite simply, her incredible life story - all of which was brilliantly displayed by her remarkable storytelling.
