About the Author

Agatha Christie is the most widely published author of all time, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Her books have sold more than a billion copies in English and another billion in a hundred foreign languages. She died in 1976, after a prolific career spanning six decades.

Reviews

"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

"Wonderfully easy to read and engrossing." -- The Times (London)

"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 (London)

"A wonderful book--written with a delight in the gradual unfolding of 75 years through the eyes of an exceptional old lady and writer." -- Financial Times (London)
