pickJust finished listening to this audio today. Loved this story which was read by the author, Paula McLain about the life of Beryl Markham who was raised in Kenya and grew to be a bold young woman who trained horses and learned to fly in spite of her unconventional upbringing. It‘s about a woman before her time and all her adventures and the tenacity of her human spirit. Highly recommended!

Andrew65 3/4 of the way through the book, whilst enjoying the book I‘d like a bit more depth and detail of her life. That said you can not argue it is well written. 6y

West with the NightAndrew65 @EadieB Just disappointed we had more about the horses and the men (!) than the flying. 6y
