Just finished a fascinating novel! Circling the Sun by Paula McLain is the story of Beryl Markham and her life in Kenya "before it was Kenya". Not sure if I would have been as ready to read this if I had not read The Paris Wife last year by the same author. Both are biographical although I had never heard of Beryl Markham but think I should have. McLain's ability to capture the essence of colonial life in Kenya plus her detailed knowledge of horse racing and airplanes is just spot on. I felt so involved with the characters throughout. Beryl Markham's life story is one you won't want to miss Couldn't put it down!
