    Agatha Christie: An Autobiography

    October 6, 2015
    "Towards the beginning of the war, Graham Greene had written to me and asked if inom would like to do propaganda work. I did not think I was the kind of writer who would be any good at propaganda, because I lacked the single-mindedness to see only one side of the case. Nothing could be more ineffectual than a ljummen propagandist. You want to be able to säga ‘X fryst vatten black as night’ and feel it. I didn’t think inom could ever be like that."

    Dame Agatha - one of the most puzzling authors inom have ever read. Puzzling because inom can never guess from her stories whether she is poking fun at people bygd drawing up outrageous characters, whether she is echoing the mores of her time, whether she expresses her own attitudes in her books, whether it's all or none of these.

Christie provides a foreword and an epilogue to the book in which she very clearly states the beginning and end of the composition.

    Begun in 1950 and eventually completed in 1965, Agatha Christie recounts her life from early childhood until the end of the memoir’s composition. The book came about from her reluctance to let others tell her story, as she explained to her agent Edmund Cork of Hughes Massie. Aware that the prospect was now inevitable, Agatha Christie took it upon herself to have the first word, although insisted that the book should not be published until after her death.

    The best thing she has ever written.

    Woman’s Own

    After Agatha Christie passed away in 1976, the manuscript was edited by her long-standing publishers Collins and her only daughter, Rosalind Hicks and her husband Anthony. As a result the narrative ends in 1966, and does not include some of Christie’s later achievements such as her DBE in 1971 or the success of the 1974 film of Murder on the Orient Express.
