Review:

"Agatha Christie's most absorbing mystery - the story of her own unusual life. She has put it all on record: her early romances; a broken (and a happy) marriage; strange events on the path to roaring success."--Daily Mail (London)

"Wonderfully easy to read and engrossing."--The Times (London)

"Joyful adventure....She brings the sense of wonder...to her extraordinary career."--New York Times Book Review

"A wonderful book--written with a delight in the gradual unfolding of 75 years through the eyes of an exceptional old lady and writer."--Financial Times (London)

"Agatha Christie is no longer merely one of my favorite writers. She is now one of my favorite people."--Chicago Tribune

"A delightful autobiography....Warm, witty and discerning."--Los Angeles Times

"Brisk and admirable....Capturing the experience of a generation too often made over-grim or over-glorious, it is the autobiography of a woman, not merely a writer."--Los Angeles Times

"Especially welcome."--Publishers Weekly

"Contains some wonderful treats....Christie writes with such wit and insight that all 542 pages fly."--Cleveland Plain Dealer

"A fun read, full of detail about upper-crust life in the Victorian era and about Christie's own surprise at finding herself a mystery novelist."--Charlotte News & Observer
