The
Lives of Beryl Markham
by Errol Trzebinski
Finch Hatton and Karen Blixen's love story became the basis for the Oscar-winning film Out
of Africa. Now, the author of Silence Will Speak reveals a twist in their relationship:
Beryl Markham, one of the century's greatest free spirits, pursued Hatton in fierce
competition. Ingram
Some reviewers pan this book as concentrating more on the woman's affairs of the heart
than on her great achievements.
