sdwvancleave 's review for:
West with the Night
by Beryl Markham
This book is beautifully written. Beryl Markham had a fascinating life and a deep love for Africa. I found myself wanting to recommend the book to people I know who fly planes or have horses. I'm sure her stories would be appreciated even more by folks who fully understand the technical side of her experiences. I gave the book 4 rather than 5 stars because it's a book of it's time. She held some racist attitudes and I found it upsetting to read about the hunting of elephants for their tusks.
