Beryl Markham blev verdensberømt som en af de første kvindelige flyvepionerer. Hun kom til Afrika som barn, men blev hurtigt forladt sin mor, der rejste tilbage til England. I stedet voksede hun halvvejs op blandt de indfødte og lærte at begå sig i naturen og at gå sine egne veje. I kraft af sine evne som hestetræner blev hun introduceret for kredsen af europæiske overklassebohemer og hedonistiske livsnydere i Happy Valley i Kenya, hvor hun mødte Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen) og forelskede sig i Finch Hatton. Paula McLain, der lagde verden ned med Madame Hemingway, har på ny begået en international bestseller, der mange steder er udnævnt som en af årets bedste bøger. "Paula McLain er fantastisk til at bringe sine personer til live. Jeg elskede at gå på opdagelse i så enestående, stærk, kompleks og passioneret en kvinde som Markham." Jojo Moyes
