Born in Torquay in 1890, Agatha Christie began writing during the First World War and wrote over 100 novels, plays and short story collections. She was still writing to great acclaim until her death, and her books have now sold over a billion copies in English and another billion in over 100 foreign languages. Yet Agatha Christie was always a very private person, and though Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple became household names, the Queen of Crime was a complete enigma to all but her closest friends.
`Wonderfully easy to read and engrossing.’
The Times `The best thing she has ever written.’
Woman’s Own `Agatha Christie’s most absorbing mystery – the story
of her own unusual life. She has put it all on record: her early
romances; a broken (and a happy) marriage; strange events on the
path to roaring success.’
Daily Mail `A wonderful book – written with a delight in the
gradual unfolding of 75 years through the eyes of an exceptional
old lady and writer.’
