Review: Circling the Sun

Circling the Sun by Paula McLain
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This historical novel featured Beryl Markham and traced her early life in what is now Kenya through 2 marriages, to her historic cross-Atlantic flight in 1936. I had read Markham's memoir a while ago, but that focused more on her career as a pilot, while this focused more on her struggles to find happiness and a feeling of belonging. Paula McLain appears to have really connected with Markham and presents her in a very loving manner.
