Published 28.02.22, 08:16 AM
Much has been written about Agatha Christie’s mysterious disappearance in 1926, when she effectively vanished from the public eye for 11 whole days, triggering one of the most extensive manhunts in the history of the world. While theories and speculations regarding the disappearance have pointed at numerous possible reasons, none of them are quite as striking as the imaginative story spun by Nina de Gramont in her latest book, The Christie Affair.
Narrated from the perspective of Nan O’ Dea, the story begins by highlighting the stark differences in lifestyle between Agatha and Nan. Yet, Nan soon manages to infiltrate the family, and in due course of time, becomes the mistress of Archibald Christie – Agatha’s husband – whom she desperately wants to marry. However, this is no impulsive affair. It is part of an intricate plan that Nan started mapping out decades ago, when she was unfairly separated from the love of her life. As Agatha disappears for 11 days, Nan will find herself knee deep in a hidden secret from long ago… a secret that only she can unlock. What ugly deeds will that secret spill? And will love alone be enough to justify them?
Exhilarating, quick-paced and springing new revelations at every bend, The Christie Affair is exactly the kind of novel that will have you calling in sick at work so you can keep reading all through the day!
