An Autobiography
by Agatha Christie
Begun at the age of sixty and completed fifteen years later, this posthumous autobiography offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the mind of the Queen of Mystery. Agatha Christie bypasses a rigid chronological structure to share a 'lucky dip' of memories, ranging from her idyllic Victorian childhood at Ashfield to her adventures on archaeological digs in the Middle East. With moving dignity and characteristic wit, she explores her two marriages, her experiences through two World Wars, and the unexpected joy she found in a life of storytelling.
