Ce que les critiques en disent

"Julie Harris' reading of aviatrix Beryl Markham's biography and celebration of Africa is an essential audiobook. Enjoy the magic of the spoken word and Harris' lovely performance." (AudioFile)

The biographical & historical information were fascinating. The writing style beautifully conjuring a bygone age.
Yet to have a biography of an English women from Africa read by an American seems odd to me. The mispronunciation of words (not simply the difference of pronunciation) & stilled reading style jarred.
Overall, worth listening to.

Loved the story … not a fan of the narration

I could only have done without the glorification of white elephant ivory hunters. Creature of the times but discouraging nevertheless

Stunning story well narrated

Lovely insights to growing up in Africa, wildlife, horse training, early aviation, love and the life of a strong independent woman ahead of her time. Highly recommended.

This story was fascinating and Julie Harris brought it to life with her magnificent reading of it.

The voice brought the story to life.

Surprised to see so many good reviews of Julie Harris' reading. She's frequently turning pages in the middle of sentences, which creates some very awkward pauses and phrasings.

Uneven narration
