Beschreibung
Agatha Christie was a genius author of many famous detective novels, creating characters like Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, yet she presented herself as an 'ordinary housewife,' even though she clearly was not. Her life is full of mysteries and enigmas, just like her books. Born in 1890 into a world where women struggled to carve out their place, she nevertheless studied music in Paris, was interested in modern psychology, worked as a volunteer nurse during World War I, loved fast cars, engaged in archaeology in Baghdad, and above all, became an internationally recognized writer. Lucy Worsley was so fascinated by her life that she decided to write a biography revealing her little-known letters and documents. It vividly recounts the life story of this extraordinary woman, which was immensely rich and fruitful. Agatha Christie claimed she was no heroine, but this book shows that she was a true pioneer not only in literature but also in many other fields.
