About this product

Product Information

Agatha Christie's memoirs about her travels to Syria and Iraq in the 1930s with her archaeologist husband Max Mallowan Agatha Christie was already well known as a crime writer when she accompanied her husband, Max Mallowan, to Syria and Iraq in the 1930s. She took enormous interest in all his excavations, and when friends asked what her strange life was like, she decided to answer their questions in this delightful book.First published in 1946, Come, Tell Me How You Live is now reissued in B format. It gives a charming picture of Agatha Christie herself, and is, as Jacquetta Hawkes concludes in her Introduction, `a pure pleasure to read'.

  • Light hearted,beautifully written, about living in Syria when it was an unspoiled country.

    I was recommended to read this book as an introduction to Agatha Christie.It is nothing like her crime books, but related to her time in Syria accompanying her husband on his archeological digs. It is a wonderful insight into her observant nature and sense of humour, and also into the nature of the Syrian people, and some of the cultural differences, which although frustrating,were often portrayed in a humorous manner. This is a lovely bed-time read, and I would thoroughly recommend it.
