Beryl Markham was an English author who emigrated to Kenya in her childhood. Her life was marked by adventure and nonconformity, becoming Kenya's first licensed horse trainer and an accomplished pilot. She captured her experiences and independent spirit in her most famous memoir, which was rediscovered years later and found renewed popularity. Her writing is often associated with wild landscapes and an untamed soul.





Beryl Markham, who died in 1986, was the first person to fly solo from England to America. The full story of her adventures across three continents are revealed in this biography of a lady whose fame as a pioneer flyer and leading racehorse trainer, was only exceeded by her beauty and controversial character.
West with the Night is the story of Beryl Markham--aviator, racehorse trainer, beauty--and her life in the Kenya of the 1920s and '30s.
