Rezensionen
Beryl Markham was a 20th century flying phenomenon; Britain's answer to America's Amelia Earhart. Unlike Earhart, whose plane disappeared in flight, Markham survived to enjoy her old age. She was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic east to west - a thrilling feat that bookends this wonderful story set in Kenya's sun-soaked, gin-fuelled Happy Valley. McLain paints Markham in vivid colours: dazzling, courageous, stroppy, and passionate. A totally absorbing and compelling read Richard & Judy
