Agatha Christie Autobiography

mh_1 01 Apr 09 at 12:21 p.m. GMT

I have just been reading Agatha’s  autobiography and am fascinated by it,  for  many reasons,  first I am originally from Iraq (  Baghdad and  Nineveh), hence the interest in archaeology,  secondly,  is that I have done the  same trip (that she did in 1928)  by train,  following exactly the same route  from  Victoria station to Baghdad  twice  in 1966 and 1968  when I  was a student at London University, and  it took me  eight days both times !.

What I found a bit frustrating about the autobiography is the lack of dates.  Has anyone been able to put dates against the eleven Parts of her book, and if possible the sub-divisions of these parts.

 I will be most grateful

I don't know if there's something for every date, but I'd cross-check the dates with a couple of other biographies of Christie, such as Janet Morgan's and mabe a couple of the newer ones.  You might get some clarification with them.

Thank you  GKCfan,   very helpful

I will try that.

Has anyone got any pictures/images  of  Agatha's house  in Baghdad ( apart from the ones in her biography) or  the  address of the  house.  I  gather that it is no longer there,  but  I  tried to  google it  and  nothing came up.
