Born in England and raised in Kenya, Beryl Markham was a notorious beauty. She trained race horses and had scandalous affairs, but she is most remembered for being a pioneering aviatrix.

Lovell's definitive biography, Beryl takes on new life-vividly portrayed by a master biographer whose knowledge of her subject is unparalleled.
