Brought to Kenya from England by pioneering parents dreaming of a new life on an African farm, Beryl is raised unconventionally, developing a fierce will and a love of all things wild. But after everything she knows and trusts dissolves, headstrong young Beryl is flung into a string of disastrous relationships, then becomes caught up in a passionate love triangle with the irresistible safari hunter Denys Finch Hatton and the writer Baroness Karen Blixen. Brave and audacious and contradictory, Beryl will risk everything to have Denys's love, but it's ultimately her own heart she must conquer to embrace her true calling and her destiny: to fly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eCircling the Sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In McLain's confident hands, Beryl Markham crackles to life, and we readers truly understand what made a woman so far ahead of her time believe she had the power to soar.\"\u003cb\u003e--Jodi Picoult, author of \u003ci\u003eLeaving Time\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Enchanting . . . a worthy heir to  Isak] Dinesen . . .
