Book Reviews of The Lives of Beryl Markham
Book Review: Unpleasant Truth
Summary: 4 Stars
After reading Beryl's memoir, West With the Night, I wanted to find out more about this woman who rubbed shoulders with Karen Blixen and Denys Finch Hatton. Boy, I wish I hadn't! However true it may be, this biography paints an unflattering portrait of a woman who was likely bipolar, with strong tendencies to mania. Her fame as a record-setting aviation pioneer is vastly overshadowed by the fact that she bed-hopped all across Africa, Europe and America, drifting from marriage to marriage and abandoning her own child.
