Description
Agatha Christie's personal memoirs about her travels to Syria and Iraq in the 1930s offer a unique glimpse into her life beyond her famous novels. In this chronicle, she recounts her experiences working on archaeological digs with her husband Max Mallowan, where they uncovered ancient wonders and lived among the working men in tents in the desert. Christie's account is described as 'a meandering chronicle of life on an archaeological dig', providing a fascinating and vivid portrait of everyday life in a world now long since vanished. This remarkable narrative is both poignant and engaging, offering a fresh perspective on Christie's life and work. Acclaimed for its readability, this book is a pleasure to read, shedding new light on the woman behind the legendary author of bestselling whodunits.
