It’s no good telling yourself that one day you will wish you had never made that change. It is no good anticipating regrets. Every tomorrow ought not to resemble every yesterday.
― Beryl Markham, West with the Night (first published in 1942)
I called B.S. when I read this testimonial by Ernest Hemingway. And then I read it. Wow. What a writer. If you have an Audible membership, this book is free with the membership. In the must read category.
“…she has written so well, and marvellously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer…she can write rings around all of us…I wish you would get it and read it because it is really a bloody wonderful book.” — Ernest Hemingway, in a letter to Maxwell Perkins”
sounds well worth a read, and hard to ignore –
It is…

Sounds promising! Going to try a sample.
Enjoy!
Intrigued…
Yes! Add it to the pile!
Yes! Do!
And here I am with one credit just waiting to be used… Thanks, DK!
Is it so delicious that you have the Kindle version so you can highlight left, right and centre?
Wow. Even better… it was free!
I’ll share a trick with you Dale, if you don’t tell anyone. (Without having to buy kindle version)
Thank you kind sir… My lips are sealed!
I have this book on my bookshelves collecting dust. Why haven´t I read it?
Excellent question!
And if I’m not mistaken, they were friends with benefits or lovers or both…and she was a notable writer in her own right…Just started getting into Audible a bit – I’ll try it with your recommendation!!
Oh now, I didn’t know that! Wow! So fascinating.
Here we go again adding yet another book to my TBR pile. Thank you for the recommendation. You never disappoint in that regard.
Smiling. Hope you enjoy!
Thanks a lot David for recommendation.
My pleasure!
Now I must read it!
You must!
Thanks for the recommendation 🙏
Omg, i loved this book! One of my faves! What a woman! Such a supreme role model. 💓
Yes! What talent and character!
Crazy brave. What focus!
Yes!
If Hemingway says so, it IS! He was not known for handing out compliments like candies on Halloween…. I take no more suggestions for books to read – not even from you 🙂
Laughing…
TAKE THIS ONE!
Oh. My. God…. This book is insanely beautifully written… I half regret that I’m listening to it rather than read but July Harris is so wonderful…
Thank you!
She is! So glad you enjoyed it!
AM enjoying it. Only just started and am on Chapter 1 but oh my gosh… her writing is exquisite.
Great. There are parts (a few, hunting elephants, that didn’t sit well with me) but the rest, a wonder.
One must take things in context… But oh man. her description of the wildebeest when running away from a plane… I had to listen to it twice!
So amazing, right!?!
