"Fun and interesting read. This is a travel memoir of some of her trips with her husband on his archaeological digs. Armchair travelling is next best to the real thing :) It also made me laugh a few times, which I always appreciate!"
"Agatha Christie write beautifully, and her voice in this auto-biography is filled with life and wonderment. The reader feels right alongside the dig team in Syria, experiencing all the adventure involved in this part of Agatha's life."
"Agatha Christie's memoir of the time she spent in modern-day Iraq with her archeologist husband, Max Mallowan, is a charming, fascinating, and informative work that answers a lot of questions about how one lives on a dig and what one does on a dig when one is not an archeologist. Christie must have had such a sense of humour and so much enthusiasm to have lived in the conditions that she did and not complain; she enjoyed almost every minute of her life in the middle of nowhere."
"This book is another autobiography, this time recounting her life after her first husband left her when she remarried an archaeologist and joined him on digs in Iraq."
