Program Description

Event Details

This month's book is Circling the Sun by Paula McLain.  The book brings to life a fearless and captivating woman--Beryl Markham, a record-setting aviator caught up in a passionate love triangle with safari hunter Dens Finch Hatton and Karen Blixen, author of the classic memoir Out of Africa. Brought to Kenya from England as a child and then abandoned by her mother, Beryl is raised by both her father and the native Kipsigis tribe. Her unconventional upbringing transforms Beryl into a bold young woman with a fierce love of all things wild and an inherent understanding of nature's delicate balance. Set against the majestic landscape of early-twentieth-century Africa, this is an adventure of a woman before her time. Books are available for check-out at the Tierrasanta Branch Library.  2nd Thursdays.
