The Christie Affair
Agatha Christie's real eleven-day disappearance, narrated by the mistress her husband left her for.
In December 1926 Agatha Christie vanished for eleven days and never explained why. De Gramont hands the story to Nan O’Dea, the mistress her husband left her for, and makes her the one who knows what happened. The invention is bold and the novel is less a mystery than a study of what a woman of that era could survive and still be considered ruined. Christie’s own silence gives it room to work.

That's right, an unexpected mix of historical fiction and romance, heart break and revenge based on true happenings
