5/5 Stairs to The Christie Affair by @ninadegramont . I just finished listening to this beautifully written novel, which imagines the true story behind Agatha Christie’s disappearance for eleven days in 1926. I thought this would be about Agatha, but ultimately it’s not Agatha’s story at all. I loved that this story focuses on Nan O’Dea, a fictional version of the mistress of Archie Christie, Agatha’s first husband. The story is told through Nan’s perspective, weaving the present and past together to create a narrative that was difficult to put down. I don’t want to say much on the story itself and spoil anyone’s journey with this book - I loved the characters and the twists the story takes along the way.

Sunday afternoon vibes. Sat down to write a quick book review, but my dog took over my lap and Knives Out took over the TV. (Un)surpringly, my review is coming along slower than planned…

Keeping busy while waiting for my son at his annual eye exam. #whatareyoureading #whatiamreading #waitingroomreading #classiccrime #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookcover
