At this meeting we will be reviewing Agatha Christie’s Autobiography. From Wikipedia about Agatha Christie:

“Agatha Christie is the best-selling author of all time. She wrote 66 crime novels and story collections, 14 plays, and six novels under a pseudonym in Romance. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and a billion in translation. According to Index Translationum, she remains the most-translated individual author, having been translated into at least 103 languages. She is the creator of two of the most enduring figures in crime literature – Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple – and author of ‘The Mousetrap’, the longest-running play in the history of modern theatre.”

Her autobiography was first published in 1977, one year after her death, and has subsequently been reprinted many times.  About the latest edition in 2012:

‘Back in print in an all-new edition, is the engaging and illuminating chronicle of the life of the ‘Queen of Mystery’. Fans of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple and readers of John Curran’s fascinating biographies “Agatha Christie’s Secret Notebooks” and “Murder in the Making” will be spellbound by the compelling, authoritative account of one of the world’s most influential and fascinating novelists, told in her own words and inimitable style. The New York Times Book Review calls Christie’s autobiography a ‘joyful adventure’, saying “She brings the sense of wonder…to her extraordinary career.”
