Join us for our July adult book discussions of Come, Tell Me How You Live by Agatha Christie on Monday, July 6 at 6:30 pm and Wednesday, July 8 at 9:30 am. Genre: Memoir, Travel, NonfictionOver the course of her long, prolific career, Agatha Christie gave the world a wealth of ingenious whodunits and page-turning locked-room mysteries featuring Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot, and host of other unforgettable characters. She also gave us Come, Tell Me How You Live, a charming, fascinating, and wonderfully witty nonfiction account of her days on an archaeological dig in Syria with her husband, renowned archeologist Max Mallowan. Something completely different from arguably the best-selling author of all time, Come, Tell Me How You Live is an evocative journey to the fascinating Middle East of the 1930s that is sure to delight Dame Agatha's millions of fans, as well as eager armchair travelers everywhere.Copies are available one month prior to discussion.
