I read Markham’s letters and then I understood why people had questioned whether she had actually written West with the night. The style and vocabulary are completely different. The writer of those letters in my humble opinion was not the writer of that gorgeous book.

Yes, yes--that controversy! I remember feeling a bit devastated by those claims. But--in the end--I thought she was cleared..? Maybe not. Oh dear, I feel a deep dive coming on.
Was she a hot knife when she came to writing books as well as spreading butter?
I ask partly in hope of fixing the name Beryl Markham in my mind, a writer whose name is new to me here wallowing in the bottomless depths of my pauce literary knowledge.

She was cleared..false claims of an angry X husband^^
She had a skill to go through men like a knife through soft butter^^
