Celebrating Agatha Christie’s birthday today with a review of her autobiography, a collection of stories from Agatha Christie’s own life from her earliest childhood memories to her later years.
Recommended for anyone who wants to know more about the name behind the many books. Agatha Christie’s autobiography is not a book about the novels she wrote, or even a book about her as a writer. It is the story of the person Agatha Christie, a woman who was extremely modest about her own writing skills and instead preferred to talk about her childhood, travels, marriages and hobbies.
And yet, the writer Agatha Christie is there between the lines. Her attention to detail, her curiosity and eagerness to explore and experience the world, and her clear and descriptive language are all part of what makes her crime novels so good, and all of these are evident in her autobiography as well. People and places spring to life on the pages as she remembers and portrays the many big and small incidences that form the narrative of her life.
A great opportunity to learn more about the Queen of Crime herself, especially for fans who are interested in knowing what Agatha Christie thought and did when she wasn’t writing intricate plots or coming up with inventive methods of murder.
