À propos de cet audio

Beryl Markham, the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic from east to west, describes her childhood on a farm in Kenya, her apprenticeship as a horse trainer, and her later career as a pioneer aviator who piloted passengers and supplies in a small plane to remote corners of Africa.

Of her memoir Ernest Hemingway said, "She has written so well, and marvelously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer....[She] can write rings around all of us who consider ourselves writers."

I didn’t know much of Beryl Markham ,other than what I’d read on the synopsis , before starting the audiobook. Her story was told beautifully by the narrator.the life Beryl led was brilliant,descriptively written ,though the references were sometimes a little beyond me. I throughly enjoyed every moment of her African odyssey to the triumphant solo to Canada .bravo I wish someone would make a miniseries because I’m sure it too would received warmly.

Fascinating journey

I have enjoyed this audio book. It was written over 80 years ago, the language is different than todays normal, but I really enjoyed the word usage. It is an amazing story of someone’s life.
