Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Did you read Beryl Markham's book, West with the Night?...She has written so well, and marvelously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer...I wish you would get it and read it because it is really a bloody wonderful book."

-- "Ernest Hemingway, in a letter to Maxwell Perkins"

Much more than a pilot's memoir, West with the Night is a wise, funny, and inspiring exploration of a life well lived.

-- "Nation"

"In a memoir almost lyrical in quality, Beryl Markham shares the story of her remarkable life...Markham's rich and poetic passages are deftly caressed by narrator Anna Fields...Especially notable are Fields' portrayal of Africans, her wistful humor, and her reverence for nature."

-- "AudioFile"

Reseña del editor:

The author describes growing up in an Africa that no longer exists, training and breeding race horses, flying mail to Sudan, and being the first woman to fly the Atlantic from east to west.
