Description
Circling the Sun by Paula McLain is a captivating tale of one woman's journey to self-discovery in 1920s colonial Kenya. Born into an Edwardian English family, Beryl Markham was transplanted to Africa as a young girl, only to find her dreams shattered and her future uncertain. As she navigates the glamour of Nairobi's high society and the loneliness of life as a scandalous divorcee, Beryl must confront her own desires and ambitions. With a fierce determination that defines her, she sets out on a path of flight and freedom, driven by a tragic loss in love. This is a story of one woman's unyielding spirit, set against the stunning backdrop of Kenya's natural beauty.
