Title: Delightful Memoir
Review: Come Tell Me How You Live; An Archaeological Memoir is Pure delight. Agatha Christe's second husband was Max Mallowan an archeologist. This memoir was written in the early thirties before the second world war. However not published according to Agatha during the devastating war years. It is not a mystery nor a historical memoir of this period in her life.However it records the people in the expedition, the workers, their way of life,philosophy etc. It is difficult to imagine Agatha living in primitve rat-infested tents when you think about all of her stately homes in the UK. However she admits this period of her life exploring with Max the remains of thousands of years of relics one of her happiest. In fact one of the dialogues in her novel Cat Among Pigeons is almost verbatim with an actual conversation she had with a Turkish roomate on the Orient Express. Please don't miss this memoir both funny and poignant.
