About This Audiobook

In this captivating memoir, Agatha Christie takes listeners on a thrilling journey through her experiences as a wife and archaeologist's partner in 1930s Syria and Iraq. Her stories of excavation sites, nomadic tribes, and ancient ruins are woven together with the personal anecdotes of her marriage to renowned archaeologist Max Mallowan. What emerges is a portrait of Christie as a woman of remarkable intelligence, wit, and adaptability - a far cry from the popular image of the renowned crime writer. This audiobook is a must-listen for fans of archaeological adventures, romance, and historical non-fiction.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was transported to the scorching deserts and dusty excavation sites of 1930s Syria and Iraq as I listened to Come, Tell Me How You Live. Judith Boyd's narration is superb, bringing a level of warmth and vulnerability to the story that I wasn't expecting. One of the things I loved about this audiobook is the way Christie seamlessly weaves together her personal anecdotes with the details of the archaeological sites and the people they encountered. It's a testament to her skill as a writer that she can make even the most mundane tasks - like digging for artifacts - feel exciting and suspenseful.
