Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife, will be in London after appearing at the Edinburgh Book Festival to celebrate the launch of her new novel Circling The Sun.
In Circling the Sun McLain takes us to the heart of another true story: set in 1920s colonial Kenya, Circling the Sun is about of the unforgettable Beryl Markham who lives by nobody's rules but her own. Markham was a British-born Kenyan aviator adventurer, racehorse trainer and author. During the pioneer days of aviation, she became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic from east to west and in this fictional account of her life, McLain’s brilliant vivid prose and unique imagination take us behind the many masks Beryl wore throughout her life, recreating her long journey from the English provinces to a freezing cockpit thousands of feet above the ocean
