We know a lot about Agatha Christie’s work, her mind-blowing plots and her distinctive characters. But what do we know about her personally? In 1926, at the height of her career, her family life was in turmoil. Archibald Christie, her beloved husband and a veteran of the First World War, announced that he wanted a divorce. In response, Agatha... disappeared for eleven days. “The Mystery of Mrs. Christie” is an attempt to explain this mysterious episode, to which Agatha gave no clear explanation. Untangling the tangle of biographical data, Marie Benedict portrays a woman who overcame the limitations of her time and found her voice - fortunately for future connoisseurs of her works.
