Agatha Christie: An Autobiography

Rating:
Summary: In my top ten
Review: There are really 3 autobiographical works that Agatha Christie wrote: there's this one, of course, which, if I remember right, covers her childhood and the early years of her first marriage, including how she began writing. Then there's "Come, Tell Me How You Live," about the 2nd part of her life, during her marriage to the archeologist Max Mallowan.

Then there's the novel (written under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott), "Unfinished Portrait." Although many things in "Unfinished Portrait" were clearly changed around for the sake of the story and don't pertain to her life at all, it is very frank emotionally about what was probably the hardest time of her life -- her divorce from her 2nd husband. It also tells a little more about her writing, since the heroine of the story is also a writer.

All 3 of the books are good reading.

Summary: Simply Beautiful!
Review: Until I read this work of AC, I never knew someone can make you interested in their life so deeply. As most of her fictions, this book wins with one virute. Its simplicity. It is clean, down-to-earth and so so wonderful. Isn't she beautiful? So full of LIFE.
