Rating: - Really Engaging!
The audio version brought back memories of my student exchange to Kenya in 1985! Those 4 months came flashing back. The events in the book are very vivid and realistic. I have to thank a bowhunting friend that told me about the book and how it really defines the lives of natives, British ex-pats and Hindu's. Anyone who is not transformed into another dimension by this story is not paying attention to the words!

Rating: - Still the best autobiography I've ever read
There's been so many great things written about this book that it can be hard to think of something new to add to them, but I have to say after being an avid reader all my life, that this is still the most beautifully written autobiography I've ever read. Or book in general really. If you love writing and appreciate someone who's incredibly gifted at it, definatly get this book.
The subject matter of this story covers the life of the author growing up in africa at the turn of the century and then her experiences as a pilot in africa and becoming the first female to fly the atlantic from the UK to the states; but it's the she writes it that makes the book so exceptional.
A really, really beautifully written autobiography

Rating: - Amazing woman
This book was a real eye-opener the first time I read it; today it remains a well written and empowering book. She was, in the tradition of Anne Morrow Lindbergh and Jackie Cochran a woman who quietly set about raising the bar of what women in their generation were allowed to achieve.
