SYNOPSIS: Beryl Markham, like Karen Blixen, could only have come out of Africa. Pioneering aviatrix, flamboyant beauty, brilliant race-horse trainer, unscrupulous seducer--her life story is for every reader who was enthralled by Blixen's exotic world, that of Kenya between the wars. This fully authorized biography, drawn from the author's personal association with Beryl and her family, paints a vivid portrait of a tempestuous and controversial character. It tells of her friendship with Karen Blixen (though she commandeered Blixen's husband Bror and lover Denys Finch Hatton), of her spectacular courage when she became the first person to fly from England to America, and of the mysteries surrounding her highly praised, bestselling book WEST WITH THE NIGHT. Before she became a full-time writer, Mary S. Lovell, who is 46, was an accountant and had enjoyed a highly successful business career which included the founding of several flourishing companies. Her interest in vintage aviation began in the late fifties and over the next ten years she and her former husband established and flew a collection of rare vintage aircraft. It was through one of these--a D. H. Gipsy Moth used in the film Out of Africa--that she first heart of Beryl Markham. Like Beryl's, her love of horses began in childhood, and though a back injury suffered in the hunting field means that she can no longer ride, she retains a consuming interest in equestrian sports. Her other interests are travel and ocean racing.
