REVIEW FROM BOOKS FOR HER:

Paula McLain seems to be the new leading lady in historical fiction, and Circling the Sun further proves the point made by The Paris Wife. Famous figures are safe in her deft hands (Beryl Markham was the first woman to complete the first westward transatlantic flight in 1936),  and she brings them to life brilliantly, along with setting that defines their lives.  McLain seems to have a real knack for how such a place makes a person who they are, and Kenya is practically a character in the novel.  I loved it!
