Riassunto

Back in print in an all-new edition, is the engaging and illuminating chronicle of the life of the “Queen of Mystery.” Fans of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple and readers of John Curran’s fascinating biographies Agatha Christie’s Secret Notebooks and Murder in the Making will be spellbound by the compelling, authoritative account of one of the world’s most influential and fascinating novelists, told in her own words and inimitable style. The New York Times Book Review calls Christie’s autobiography a “joyful adventure,” saying, “she brings the sense of wonder...to her extraordinary career.”

Su questo libro

Recensione:

“This book proves as inspiring as it is charming and absorbing.” (Boston Globe)

“Brisk and admirable....Capturing the experience of a generation too often made over-grim or over-glorious, it is the autobiography of a woman, not merely a writer.” (Los Angeles Times)

“Especially welcome.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Contains some wonderful treats....Christie writes with such wit and insight that all 542 pages fly.” (Cleveland Plain Dealer)

“A fun read, full of detail about upper-crust life in the Victorian era and about Christie’s own surprise at finding herself a mystery novelist.” (Charlotte News & Observer)

“The history of a unique upbringing in a time long gone. It’s a portrait of a childhood and young womanhood that vanished with World War I.” (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review)

“Christie writes with a wonderful dry wit. It is fascinating to see how people she met became characters in her novels.” (Daily American)

“Joyful adventure....She brings the sense of wonder...to her extraordinary career.” (New York Times Book Review)

“Agatha Christie is no longer merely one of my favorite writers. She is now one of my favorite people.” (Chicago Tribune)

“A delightful autobiography....Warm, witty and discerning.” (Los Angeles Times)
