Requests:  0 Summary:  "Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was "just" an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn't? Her life is fascinating for its mysteries and its passions and, 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 that had its own rules about what women could and couldn't do. Lucy Worsley's biography is not just of a massively, internationally successful 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 realize what an extraordinary pioneer Agatha Christie was--truly a woman who wrote the twentieth century"-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Makawao Public Library Adult Biography B Christie Wo   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Christie Wo   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 823.91209 Christie Wo   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Biography B Christie Wo   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Biography 823.91209 Christie Wo   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Biography B Christie Wo   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Biography B Christie Wo   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 823.91209 Christie Wo   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) Adult Nonfiction 823.91209 Christie Wo Biography Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Bookmobile Adult Biography B Christie Wo   Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: Prev 1 2
