NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR
BY NPR, BOOKPAGE, AND SHELF AWARENESS Paula McLain is considered
the new star of historical fiction, and for good reason. Fans of
The Paris Wife will be captivated by Circling the Sun, which . . .
is both beautifully written and utterly engrossing. Ann Patchett,
Country Living Paula McLain, author of the phenomenal bestseller
The Paris Wife, now returns with her keenly anticipated new novel,
transporting readers to colonial Kenya in the 1920s. 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 Karen Blixen, who as Isak
Dinesen wrote 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 who share
his estate. 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. But even the
wild child must grow up, and when everything Beryl knows and trusts
dissolves, she is catapulted into a string of disastrous
relationships. Beryl forges her own path as a horse trainer, and
her uncommon style attracts the eye of the Happy Valley set, a
decadent, bohemian community of European expats who also live and
love by their own set of rules. But it s the ruggedly charismatic
Denys Finch Hatton who ultimately helps Beryl navigate the
uncharted territory of her own heart. The intensity of their love
reveals Beryl s truest self and her fate: to fly. 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.
