Book Review of West with the Night

West with the Night
reviewed on + 625 more book reviews


This memoir contains some of the most vivid writing about animals in the wild that I have ever read, anywhere, in 60+ years of reading. I loved the style, insights, narration and characterizations in this book, which recounts her growing up in East Africa, hunting with native and Indian men, learning to become a pilot and having various other adventures. Strongly recommended!
