Circling The Sun

I have been to Kenya so naturally I like reading books about Kenya. Paula McLain is the author of Circling The Sun. The story is about Beryl. Beryl was born in England but her family moved to Kenya when she was a baby. At age 4 her mother left with her older brother to go back to England. Beryl grew up with her father who eventually remarried. Her father raised race horses and Beryl is good with horses too. Her father encouraged her to marry at age 16 which she did but the marriage didn't work out. Beryl becomes the country's first licensed horse trainer. Later in life she became the first female pilot. Beryl is quite the woman and this is quite the book.
