![]() ![]() ![]() I can't discuss the book without discussing Christie's husband, Archie. "Agatha was upper crust and elegent, but perfectly willing to dispense with manners and social mores." I felt by the end of the book like I knew a little more about the author's character. I would recommend this book for fans of the author, but it also works for people like me who previously knew next to nothing about her. "Agatha Christie had a fascination with murder. The use of her to tell the story is genius and her own story is as important as Christie's and as absorbing. The Christie Affair is written from the point of view of her husband's mistress Nan O'Dea, a charcter you would presume to dislike but actuallly for the purposes of the book I found myself quite fond of her. Also, even I had heard of Agatha Christie's famous disappearance. I have never read any Agatha Christie, I simply enjoy books about the lives of authors. The Christie Affair by Nina De Gramont was not a natural choice of book for me. ![]()
