Follow the plucky Beryl as she trains with the Nandi tribe to become a warrior and then to a boarding school where she discovers being a proper English girl is not for her.
This book is peppered with real events but is mostly Michaela MacColl imagination. I really liked this book it was funny and creative and moving. My one complaint with this book is that the author did not accurately represent Promise the night is the story of Beryl Markham the first woman to get her commercial pilot license. My one complaint with this book is that the author did not accurately represent the native tribe in this book because she could not find much information on the tribe so she used a tribe that had similar customs.
Aug 27, Melissa rated it it was amazing Shelves: I was on the edge of my seat throughout this entire story. MacColl propels readers into a multilayered story with an unforgettable heroine and evocative language that brings the backdrop of colonial British East Africa to life. A fascinating read for anyone wit I was on the edge of my seat throughout this entire story.
Sep 03, Erica rated it really liked it Shelves: This historical fiction novel follows the life of a woman who refused to be limited by what was considered proper for a lady to do. Beryl grew up in Kenya the daughter of a famous English horse breeder. The story of her unusual and spirited upbringing is interspersed with vignettes of her adult exploits as a pilot, the first to cross the Atlantic from east to west. It's a great adventure novel and an inspiring true story.

Growing up the only daughter of a successful farmer and horse trainer, Beryl turned to the native Nandi people in her East African home to teach her discipline and survival. Beryl grew from each of her experiences Galloping into the air much like the horses she later trained, Beryl Clutterbuck Markham was a young women coming of age in a time not prepared for her vivaciousness.
Beryl grew from each of her experiences to become a woman revered by many, but her youth was filled with not only skepticism but danger at every turn. Promise the Night by Michaela MacColl was one of those such books. It was this determination and no-nonsense sincerity that finally landed her in the cockpit of an airplane ride across the Atlantic in The story is actually told in alternating parts between her youth around age eleven and her adulthood centering around her actual trip.
As I read both the pieces of her life slowly fell into place and it became an incredible adventure I thoroughly enjoyed. She ran to the African tribe of the Nandi, had a terrible governess who beat her so much that she had to escape, she chased down and hunted wild animals, trained gorgeous horses and eventually landed in the pilot seat of a small plane.
Her life inspired many and will continue to through the wonderful words of Michaela MacColl. Originally reviewed and copyrighted at my site There's A Book. Dec 27, Sara Latta rated it really liked it. Beryl Clutterbuck was born in in England, but she moved to British East Africa now known as Kenya with her parents and brother when she was two years old. If life in Africa was too demanding for Clara Clutterbuck, it was heaven for the adventuresome Beryl.
She explores the forests, adopts the local Nandi tribe as her substitute family, and learns to speak Swahili. She fervently wishes to join her Nandi friend, a boy named Kibii, in becoming a Nandi warrior. Before becoming a pilot, Beryl was the first licensed female horse trainer in British East Africa. Beryl rebels at every attempt to turn her into a proper young lady, even as she comes to understand the daughter of a British colonialist can never really become African.
Younger teens would like it as well. Sara Latta, Champaign, is the author of 17 books for children, including three books on forensic science just out this fall. She has an M.

Nov 23, Alyse Erickson rated it really liked it Shelves: This story is about a young girl named Beryl who has spent her life growing up between two complete opposite homes; the harsh savannas of Africa with her strict father, and the big bustling country of England.
That was a fairly drastic part of the book and was very sad to me This story is about a young girl named Beryl who has spent her life growing up between two complete opposite homes; the harsh savannas of Africa with her strict father, and the big bustling country of England. That was a fairly drastic part of the book and was very sad to me. With determination to rescue her only friend in her heart and mind, Beryl sets out on an adventure and becomes the first person to fly alone from England all the way to North America; across her journey, this and many other crazy stories and events like learning how to tame and ride horses, take place during her crazy rescue attempt.
The level of cultural detail is high in this book because she gives descriptions of what it is like to live in two completely different living situations from both points of view too. Most of the authentic dialogue took place in the beginning with Beryl and her dog, then with all of the characters she met on her journey, most of which were exciting and heartfelt. The in depth treatment of cultural issues was not as relevant as I assumed it would be, the only time it seemed to appear in the novel was by comparing the differences in Africa, versus the more modernized North America and England.
One of the minorities in the novel was a tribal that Beryl ran into during her adventure. Over all this novel was adventure packed, exciting, thought provoking, and extremely well written. This book would not be a very good book for myself to include in my classroom. This book would be too mature for my class. The authors voice throughout the story also came off to me as a little aggressive and scary. This is something that I would not want to introduce to third graders.
This book overall, was a great book to read. I believe this book is to be targeted to young adults versus children.
The feeling that I got from this book was sorrow. I sincerely felt bad for Beryl throughout most of this book, she was always trying to pave her own way and do what her heart desired but she never seemed to have any support. This book I feel could be a very strong life lesson for a young adult mainly because of the independence that Beryl shows throughout the novel.

The novel takes place in , during her childhood in British East Africa now Kenya , when she was 11 and quite a tomboy. Since her mother had left years ago, unable to live in such primitive conditions huts with dirt floors , Beryl had been able to run wild.
Her father is busy running a An excellent historical fiction novel based on the life of a real person, Beryl Markham, the first woman to fly solo west to east across the Atlantic Ocean, in Amelia Earhart's flight was east to west. Her father is busy running a farm and a horse racing stable and doesn't know how to control her, so she runs and plays barefoot with her best friend, Nandi tribal boy Kibii.
Despite her father's attempts to "civilize" her a governess brought in only results in stubborn battles and Beryl running away; her father's married live-in companion, Emma, does not immediately bond with Beryl , Beryl loves the wild countryside and going on hunts with the Nandi and learning the ways of a warrior, which goes against the Nandi tradition of only teaching boys to become warriors.
The childhood story is interspersed with pages from the grown-up Beryl's diary, as she makes her recordsetting flight, a technique I had just read in Amelia Lost , a biography of Amelia Earhart, which uses it much more extensively, so I was a little disappointed to see the same thing here. But it adds an interesting twist to the childhood story; you know she grows up to do this thrilling flight, and you want to know how both stories end.
I enjoyed this book a lot; I had not known anything about Beryl Markham's life in fact I got her mixed up with Isak Dinesen, of the movie Out of Africa! She's a spunky character as written here, an independent free spirit whose love of Africa is abundant. I also enjoyed learning more about the ways of the Nandi people. And there is exciting action--a lion hunt, a jaguar attack, and tribal rivalries. I was cheering for Beryl all the way! As an adult reader I want to know more about the rest of her life, as she became a very successful racehorse trainer and also pilot; I think kids reading this will also be intrigued enough to look for more information on her.
Jan 03, Margo Tanenbaum rated it liked it Shelves: This new historical fiction title is inspired by the life of aviatrix Beryl Markham, the first woman pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic from East to West considered more challenging than flying East because of prevailing winds. Novelist Michaela Maccoll intersperses the story of Beryl's historic voyage with Beryl's life as a ten-year old growing up in what is now Kenya, where she lived with her English father on a horse ranch, her mother having abandoned them years before.
Her life as This new historical fiction title is inspired by the life of aviatrix Beryl Markham, the first woman pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic from East to West considered more challenging than flying East because of prevailing winds. Her life as a child is filled with endless adventures--attacks by leopards, forbidden treks into the forest with a boy from the local tribe, Kibbi, who becomes her friend and teaches her to wrestle and track and hunt animals.
Indeed, she is virtually adopted by the native tribe who take her in as one of their own, allowing her to train to be a "warrior" despite her sex and accepting her as an honorary member of the Nandi tribe. The novel jumps back and forth between the youthful Beryl's adventures both at home and later in boarding school and a variety of diary entries, fictitious press articles and interviews about her cross-Atlantic flight. I found the parts in Africa much more engaging and vivid than the snippets about her flight; the two themes don't really seem to be tied together, since we don't learn about the beginnings of her interests in flight in the sections in which Beryl is a child.
However, Maccoll paints an appealing picture of an adventurous spirit who can't resist a dare, a girl who is more comfortable in boys' clothing and who longs to be a hunter of lions rather than a proper young English lady. It's a good choice for those looking for a colorful adventure story that could appeal to girls as well as boys. Those interested in learning more about the real Beryl can check out her memoir, West With the Night North Point Press, , which was praised by none other than Ernest Hemingway, who remarked about Markham's writing, "she can write rings around all of us who consider ourselves as writers," or the young adult biography Beryl Markham: In addition, Maccoll includes an author's note providing further details on the real Beryl's life as well as additional suggestions for further reading.

The level of cultural detail is high in this book because she gives descriptions of what it is like to live in two completely different living situations. This type of book could be greatly used in a class room if a teacher wants to learn about where her students have come from and what they have lived through and experienced while growing up, this type of lesson could also be a great ice breaker for the students to get to know one another at the beginning of the year. Something that I think should not have been in the book is that a girl at such a young age was experiencing so many huge life moments, it seems as though the story would have been a little more realistic if the main character was at an older age in the story.
However over all, this novel was adventure packed, exciting, thought provoking, and extremely well written. Mar 17, Pam rated it it was amazing Shelves: How I found Beryl Markam: I knew her fairly well in Africa and never would have suspected that she could and would put pen to paper except to write in her flyer's log book.
As it is, she has written so well, and marvelously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer. I felt that I was simply a carpenter with words, picking up whatever was furnished on the job and nailing them together and sometimes making an okay pig pen. But [she] can write rings around all of us who consider ourselves writers.
The only parts of it that I know about personally, on account of having been there at the time and heard the other people's stories, are absolutely true. I wish you would get it and read it because it is really a bloody wonderful book. She fought against the constraints of being a female in British East Africa and provided enough entertaining material for MacColl to write a fantastic historical novel about a fascinating time and place with an excellent introduction to the issues of race and colonialism.
Jan 07, Barbara rated it really liked it Shelves: Beryl Markham grew up training race horses for her father in British East Africa, an experience that marked her for life and likely formed the independent, determined side of her personality. Sometimes she took risks and made mistakes that ended badly, but that risk-taking and independence will stand her in good stead once she takes to the skies and becomes the first person to fly alone from England to North America.
The book begins in when Beryl is ten, allowed to do whatever she wishes, w Beryl Markham grew up training race horses for her father in British East Africa, an experience that marked her for life and likely formed the independent, determined side of her personality. The book begins in when Beryl is ten, allowed to do whatever she wishes, which includes learning the ways of the warrior from a Nandi leader and hunting for lions, something females were not allowed to do. She refuses to bathe, groom her hair, and wear dresses since they are impractical for the life she leads helping her father.
The author includes created newspaper clippings, journalists' interviews, and entries from her journal describing the flight and the aftermath. I might have enjoyed more observations on the flight, daring as it must have been, but the entries themselves sometimes seemed quite detached from the actual event itself.
What does shine in the book, though, is Beryl's personality and the affection she had for Green Hills, the farm where she grew up. Some of the passages describing the forests and animals are quite lovely. Although the author spends only a limited amount of time on Beryl's year at a boarding school, it is enough to make clear the social pecking order that existed at the time. There is much to ponder about the colonialism, racism, and sexism that pervaded those times, just as there is much to admire about the girl who became the woman who went west with the night in her plane.
The author's note spells out how much of the story is truth and how much is fiction, and a list of references will surely provide additional information for readers intrigued by the story and for a time long gone but captured exquisitely in this book.

Beryl is not a shy, retiring young lady; she is bold and daring, not content to sit inside but wanting to be a warrior and trainer of horses.
She gets in to so many scrapes but is dedicated to doing the right thing and confessing her wrongs to her father. She has a strong sense of justice even if as a child, she still has much to learn. However I didn't really identify with her, being a more introverted and indoorsy girl, and disapproved of her hijinks; honestly I thought she was a little bratty in some instances such as her obstinacy against learning basic mathematics. I wonder if a younger reader might be more enchanted.
