From the phenomenal bestselling author of "The Paris Wife" comes a long awaited new novel! "Circling the Sun", highly praised by Jojo Moyes and Jodi Picoult, brings to life a fearless and captivating woman in 1920s colonial Kenya, Beryl Markham, a record-setting aviator caught up in a passionate love triangle with safari hunter Denys Finch Hatton and Karen Blixen, author of the class memoir "Out of Africa".
Beryl is raised by both her father and the native Kipsigis tribe who share his estate, and her unconventional upbringing transforms Beryl into a bold young woman with a fierce love of all things wild. Beryl forges her own path as a horse trainer, and her uncommon style attracts the eye of a bohemian community of European expats. 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.
Paula McLain is the author of the novels "The Paris Wife" and "A Ticket to Ride", the memoir "Like Family: Growing Up in Other People's Houses", and two collections of poetry. She has received fellowships from Yaddo, the MacDowell Colony, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Meg Waite Clayton is the "New York Times" bestselling author of four novels: "The Four Ms. Bradwells"; "The Wednesday Sisters"; "The Language of Light"; and "The Wednesday Daughters". She's written for the "Los Angeles Times", "The New York Times", "Washington Post", "San Jose Mercury News", "Forbes", "Writer's Digest", "Runner's World", and public radio. She is also an avid supporter of independent bookstores and blogs.
