Popis:

** Shortlisted for the @CrimeFest H.R.F. Keating Award **`A smart and highly entertaining portrait of a literary powerhouse`- THE TIMES BOOKS OF THE YEAR`A riveting portrait` - GUARDIAN BOOKS OF THE YEAR***`Christie lovers should read this biography for the same reason they read her novels.` - The Times`A model of how to combine biographical information, analysis and literary criticism into a propulsive narrative` - Daily Telegraph`Worsley`s book excels in bringing a broader historical perspective to Christie`s life and work, and her enthusiasm is infectious.` - ObserverMs Worsley herself writes engagingly... She combines an almost militant support for her subject with a considered analysis of her books and plays.` - Economist`Nobody in the world was more inadequate to act the heroine than I was.`Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was `just` an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn`t? As Lucy Worsley says, `She was thrillingly, scintillatingly modern`. She went surfing in Hawaii, she loved fast cars, and she was intrigued by the new science of psychology, which helped her through devastating mental illness. So why - despite all the evidence to the contrary - did Agatha present herself as a retiring Edwardian lady of leisure? She was born in 1890 into a world which had its own rules about what women could and couldn`t do. Lucy Worsley`s biography is not just of an internationally renowned bestselling writer. It`s also the story of a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, became an astonishingly successful working woman. With access to personal letters and papers that have rarely been seen, Lucy Worsley`s biography is both authoritative and entertaining and makes us realise what an extraordinary pioneer Agatha Christie was - truly a woman who wrote the twentieth century.
