Synopsis
In this beautifully written autobiography, Beryl Markham describes how at seventeen, when her father lost their farm and went to Peru, she chose to stay in Africa and began a highly successful career as a racehorse trainer. In her twenties, she gave up horses and started flying airplanes, becoming the first woman in East Africa to be granted a commercial pilot's license and becoming the first woman to fly the Atlantic from east to west.
