houstonkp 's review for:

West with the Night by Beryl Markham
5.0

"As it is, she has written so well, and marvelously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer . . . it is really a bloody wonderful book."--Ernest Hemingway

This is the book I wanted The Snows of Kilimanjaro to be, so I'm glad Hemingway could admit his own deference on this one. The kind of book you could read again and again - especially when setting out on an adventure.
