Reviews

New York HERALD Tribune
A poet's feeling for her land, an adventurer's response to life
Daily Mail
Markham made her name as one of the first pilots to fly solo across the Atlantic in 1936 . . . A vivacious account of an eccentric life, with Markham's headstrong nature and spirit shining out
Ernest Hemingway
[Markham] can write rings around all of us . . . I wish you would get it and read it because it is really a bloody wonderful book
Time Out
A beautiful and evocative story that deserves to be ranked alongside Karen Blixen's Out of Africa
