Circling the Sun brings to life a fearless and captivating woman—Beryl
Markham, a record-setting aviator caught up in a passionate love triangle with
safari hunter Denys Finch Hatton and KarenBlixen, author ofthe classic memoir
Out of Africa.
Set against the majestic landscape of early-twentieth-century Africa, McLain’s
powerful tale reveals the extraordinary adventures of a woman before her time,
the exhilaration of freedom and its cost, and the tenacity of the human spirit.
