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."

This book is a gem to be treasured and revisited, so completely and truly does it capture the essence of Africa and the people who lived in her during those magical years at the beginning of the 20th century.

An amazing memoir of an amazing life. Beryl lived in a time where everyone was judged by the cover of their book. She is that and so much more.

I highly recommend this book.

The narrator did an excellent job of bringing the character to life with detailed artistic writing that painted a clear picture of Africa.

Beryl’s bravery and clear thinking, even as a young child, were the common thread throughout her life.

West With The Night tells a story so personal I felt every emotion as she tells the story of a magical life. Not that she saw it that way. The tone is matter of fact yet her descriptions, sights and sounds bring the reader right into her life.

The narrator is awesome. Always spot on with the tone of the story.

I highly recommend it.
