West With the Night Paperback – 1 January 1982

by Beryl Markham (Author)
4.7 out of 5 stars 1,106 ratings
One of my all-time favorites. This woman led a fascinating life, and was able to articulate it in a most beautiful narrative. Each chapter is stand-alone, so it's perfect for bedtime reading, or as a book to take on vacation.

    The above perfectly encapsulates my experience of re-reading Beryl Markham's stunning memoir. The only caveat I'd make is that the last part of the definition makes it sound like a bad thing, when in reality the plethora of descriptive and evocative prose to be found within the 294 pages of this book are about as close to reading nirvana as a I am likely to find in my lifetime.

    La calidad de este libro es abominable. Ni es libro, son como foto copias. No lo compres! !! Hasta pena ajena me dio.

    wild and crazy - best of the old-time barnstormers, you-know-what disturbers, and could party with the best of the best aviators our there at the time.

    I first learned about Beryl while listening to some audio book, and wrote down her name and titles. Now I have the first book (West With the Night) and am looking forward to receiving 'Straight On Till Morning: The Life Of Beryl Markham' which is en route as I type.

    As someone with a life-long appreciation of all things aviation and aerospace, I'm looking forward to reading about Beryl. I also have books about the one and only Pancho Barnes - of whom Chuck Yeager mentioned in several of his books - very complimentary of her aviation skills, and Amy Johnson who was immortalized in Al Stewart's Flying Sorcery.

    All accomplished aviatrixes...and not forgetting Patty Wagstaff whom I was fortunate enough to catch at two airshows. Fabulous!

    Anyway, if you're interested in in aviation, you'll be intrigued with Beryl Markham. (PS I have no use for that idiot who managed to ground loop one aircraft and crash land some place in the Pacific with her Navigator Fred Noonan.
