I read elsewhere a quote by someone who had lived in Africa at the time, and they said every incident in the book they knew of had happened just as she wrote it.<br /><br />Trish- I didn't even know there was a movie about Amelia but I just watched the trailer and it looks so good! I would love to see it.<br /><br />Bybee- Yes- there's a lengthy quote on Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-62765562426089792692009-08-18T14:56:09.481-04:002009-08-18T14:56:09.481-04:00This sounds really good.

I don't think I'd be disappointed that it turned out to be about horses and African wildlife, and not just about the flying.<br /><br />I loved Out of Africa too. Have you ever read any of Isak Dinesen's stories? I took a seminar on her in college and loved it.Janethttp://acrossthepage.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-9220594196238676162009-08-18T03:44:21.718-04:002009-08-18T03:44:21.718-04:00I remember hearing that Hemingway was a big fan of...I remember hearing that Hemingway was a big fan of hers.Bybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061186489010154661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-45726522361963005452009-08-17T21:42:45.684-04:002009-08-17T21:42:45.684-04:00Isn't it interesting how certain people become...Isn't it interesting how certain people become so infamous while others are not remembered at all? I haven't heard of Markham but it sounds like a wonderful book. I haven't read Out of Africa either but my roommate loved the movie and made me watch it multiple times with her. The new movie Amelia looks interesting--have you seen previews?Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-72665565213468149442009-08-17T19:07:28.764-04:002009-08-17T19:07:28.764-04:00Wow, it sounds like she was a remarkable woman.

And another one I got at the same sale looked really cool, but was <i>terrible</i>. Sometimes you really never know until you start reading it!<br /><br />Jenny- Ah, you should have picked up <i>West with the Night</i>!
