<p>Paula McLain, author of the phenomenal bestseller <i>The Paris Wife,</i> now returns with her keenly anticipated new novel, transporting readers to colonial Kenya in the 1920s.<i>Circling the Sun</i> brings to life a fearless and captivating womanâEuro"Beryl Markham, a record-setting aviator caught up in a passionate love triangle with safari hunter Denys Finch Hatton and Karen Blixen, who as Isak Dinesen wrote the classic memoir<i>Out of Africa</i>.</p><p>Brought to Kenya from England as a child and then abandoned by her mother, Beryl is raised by both her father and the native Kipsigis tribe who share his estate. Her unconventional upbringing transforms Beryl into a bold young woman with a fierce love of all things wild and an inherent understanding of natureâEuros delicate balance. But even the wild child must grow up, and when everything Beryl knows and trusts dissolves, she is catapulted into a string of disastrous relationships.</p><p>Beryl forges her own path as a horse trainer, and her uncommon style attracts the eye of the Happy Valley set, a decadent, bohemian community of European expats who also live and love by their own set of rules.

I loved discovering the singular Beryl Markham, with all her strengths and passions and complexities, a woman who persistently broke the rules, despite the personal cost. SheâEuros a rebel in her own time, and a heroine for ours."<b>âEuro"Jojo Moyes</b><br><br>âEuro²McLain cements herself as <i>the</i> writer of historical fictional memoir with <i>Circling the Sun, </i>giving vivid voice to Beryl Markham. In a brilliant move, McLain hardly focuses at all on the transatlantic flight that made the aviator so famous, choosing instead to explore what happened before: MarkhamâEuros unorthodox childhood in Kenya, a failed marriage, and a star-crossed love affair with Denys Finch Hatton. In McLainâEuros confident hands, Markham crackles to life, and we readers truly understand what made a woman so far ahead of her time believe she had the power to soar."<b>âEuro"Jodi Picoult<br><br>Praise for Paula McLain and <i>The Paris Wife<br></i></b><br>âEuro²McLain has brought Hadley [Hemingway] to life in a novel that begins in a rush of early love. . . . A moving portrait of a woman slighted by history, a woman whose . . . story needed to be told."<b>âEuro"<i>The Boston Globe<br></i></b><br>âEuro²<i>The Paris Wife</i> creates the kind of out-of-body reading experience that dedicated book lovers yearn for, nearly as good as reading Hemingway for the first timeâEuro"and it doesnâEurot get much better than that."<b>âEuro"Minneapolis<i>Star Tribune<br></i></b><br>âEuro²Exquisitely evocative . . . This absorbing, illuminating book gives us an intimate view of a sympathetic and perceptive woman, the striving writer she married, the glittering and wounding Paris circle they were part of. . . . McLain reinvents the story of Hadley and ErnestâEuros romance with the lucid grace of a practiced poet."<b>âEuro"<i>The Seattle Times<br></i></b><br>âEuro²A novel thatâEuros impossible to resist . . . ItâEuros all here, and it all feels real."<b>âEuro"<i>People</i></b></p>
