Including one of the best books ever written,
West with the Night, by Beryl Markham.
No less than Ernest Hemmingway wrote about the book:

"Did you read Beryl Markham's book, West with the Night? ...She has written so well, and marvellously 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 this girl, who is to my knowledge very unpleasant ... can write rings around all of us who consider ourselves as writers ... it really is a bloody wonderful book."
