Straight on till morning : the biography of Beryl Markham
Straight on till morning : the biography of Beryl Markham
A life story from the exotic world of Kenya between the wars: Beryl Markham was a pioneering aviatrix - the first person to fly from England to America - a flamboyant beauty, brilliant race-horse trainer and unscrupulous seducer. This tempestuous controversial woman was a friend of Karen Blixen (though she commandeered her husband Bror and lover Denys Finch Hatton) and this biography is written by someone who knew Beryl and her family quite closely. This fully authorised biography paints a vivid portrait of an extraordinary character.
