I randomly picked up this book
at a book sale
mainly just because of the cover.
(I’m superficial like that
when it comes to books…
don’t judge me.)
I didn’t realize until the end
that Beryl Markham is a real person,
that she has a memoir that now I want to read,
and that Karen Blixen was Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesan) from Out of Africa
(which I also want to read…and watch the movie).
Anyway…it was a great book.
I am not sure why I am suddenly reading
so many books about female aviators
without even trying…
maybe the universe is trying to tell me
to get my pilot license!! :)
Anywayyyyy….
she was totally fascinating…strong and independent…
I liked her.
and I liked this quote…it hit home for me:
”sometimes when you are hurting, it helps to throw
yourself at something that will take your weight”.
