Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Beryl Markham, the pioneer aviator and author of West with the Night, had many lovers, including her friend Isak Dinesen's husband, Bror Blixen, and lover, Denys Finch-Hatton. Although British freelance writer Lovell intrudes into the story, PW called this "an engrossing biography of a legendary beauty and achiever." Photos.

5.0 out of 5 stars
a hero of mine,
By Esther Shaper "Rumrook" (Grafton, ma United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Straight on Till Morning: The Biography of Beryl Markham (Paperback)
So I was a 12 year old tom boy looking for a hero and stumbled upon this bio. What Luck! I honestly can't remember reading of a person more adept at living, more intrinsically intersting and eccletic than Beryl Markham. Those looking for a quick fix can look at it like a story somewhere between Annie Oakley and a Barbra Stanwyk character. I'm 23 now and she's still a hero of mine. PS read West with Night before you order this.
