About This Novel
Markham Burrell climbed into the cockpit of the Vega Herring Gull and pulled up the control column. She will fly solo across the Atlantic from east to west, something no one has ever done before. She is a free-range daughter of Africa, a legend chosen by God - archery, hunting, horse taming, growing up without control, and escaping from the lion's mouth. She loves horse racing and obtained a horse racing trainer's license at the age of 18; she loves flying and became a professional pilot at the age of 29 - she is a female pioneer in Africa entering these two fields. But she's not invulnerable. Two careless marriages, children abandoned in other countries, affairs with many men, love triangles entangled among friends... Countless secrets are circulated in Kenyan social circles. People said that she was a wild woman; for greater freedom, she turned from the horse farm to the sky. It was many years before I flew across the Atlantic Ocean. This voyage is like a portrayal of the first half of Burrell's life: wind and rain, the future is uncertain, and he moves forward resolutely with only a lonely courage. The love affairs in life have been settled, and Burrell took off. Before setting off, she stuffed a bottle of brandy into her back pocket.
