West with the Night

by Beryl Markham

Farrar, Straus and Giroux · 2013 · 320 pages

Beryl Markham’s memoir recounts a childhood spent on an East African farm, where she learned to track and train horses and developed an unshakeable connection to the wild landscape. Later, she became a pioneering aviator, undertaking daring flights across continents and breaking records in the early days of aviation. This is a vivid, unsentimental portrait of a remarkable woman who lived life on her own terms, an essential read for anyone drawn to adventure and the untamed spirit.
