Today’s book recommendation and review comes from Matador Travel community member, theworldisgettingsmaller.
First published in 1942, this memoir is so great that even Ernest Hemingway commented, “she has written so well, and marvelously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer.”
The tales in this book chronicle Beryl Markham‘s life in Africa – from childhood encounters with tigers to buzzing trees as a bush pilot.
It’s told in a way that can make anyone envision Africa perfectly, even if that person has never seen a picture taken on the continent.
