West with the Night by Beryl Markham
3.5
adventurous inspiring medium-paced

I would probably have rated it higher right after I read it, but I completely blanked on what it was about at first. After a refresher, I remember the writing was very lyrical and the story was indeed very adventurous. She was quite a remarkable woman, very daring and very ahead of her time. Her story of growing up in Africa and then striving to be the best aviator in the world was beautiful and engaging. I would recommend it.
