Lives Of Beryl Markham - Softcover
A woman of captivating presence whose affairs scandalized Kenya, Beryl Markham became famous after her pioneering transatlantic solo flight in 1936.
Drawing on her own long association with Markham, as well as diaries, letters, and interviews, Errol Trzebinski unravels the complexities of one of the century's great personalities.Markham's memoir, West with the Night, was rediscovered in 1983 and became an instant bestseller, though shadowed by rumors that Markham was not the actual author. Trzebinski here puts the question of authorship to rest, as she answers many other questions about Markham in this riveting true story of courage, rivalry, sexual intrigue, and revenge.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Beryl Markham was brought up by the Kipsiquis on her father's Kenyan farm in the white pioneering era, and was left to the vicissitudes of bush life. Her unconventional upbringing vested in her a freedom to which few other women of her time could aspire. She acquired fame with her transatlantic solo flight in 1936, and notoriety with her three marriages and legion affairs, involving at one time Edward, Prince of Wales, and his brother, the Duke of Gloucester. But these were passing fancies compared to her passion for Denys Finch Hatton, the gentleman hunter portrayed by Robert Redford in Out of Africa, whom she pursued for nine years in fierce competition with Karen Blixen. Drawing on diaries, letters, interviews, and her own long association with Beryl Markham, the author sets out to unravel her complexities and to tell a true story of courage, rivalry, sexual intrigue, and revenge. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001495153
