Description

Agatha Christie: A Thrillingly Modern Woman Lucy Worsley's biography of Agatha Christie is a riveting portrait of a literary powerhouse. Born in 1890, Christie was a woman of contradictions - she was both a devoted homemaker and a thrill-seeking adventurer. Despite the societal norms of her time, Christie defied expectations and became an astonishingly successful working woman. This biography is not just a study of Christie's life and work, but also an exploration of the obstacles she faced as a woman in a male-dominated world. Worsley's engaging narrative combines a deep understanding of Christie's books and plays with a broader historical perspective, shedding new light on the author's life and times.
