Full description for Straight on Till Morning
Born in England and raised in Kenya, Beryl Markham was a notorious beauty. She trained race horses and had scandalous affairs, but she is most remembered for being a pioneering aviatrix. She became the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean and the first person to make it from London to New York nonstop. In Mary S. Lovell s definitive biography, Beryl takes on new life vividly portrayed by a master biographer whose knowledge of her subject is unparalleled.
