![]() ![]() ![]() To begin with I found that I had little sympathy for Nan O’Dea but as the book progressed and you learned more about her past although I still not agree with her actions I could at least understand a little of what drove her, and her complete fascination with the Christie family. After her troubled start in life, she had managed to reinvent herself yet there were still unresolved things in her past that very few new about and that no one should have to endure. She had a respect for Agatha Christie, and you got the impression that if the circumstances had been slightly different they could have possibly been friends. ![]() ![]() The Christie Affair is a fictional look at what happened when Agatha Christie went missing for several days as through the eyes of Nan O’Dea, a character based on Archie Christies mistress and eventual second wife. If you are looking to find out what really took place during that time then this is not for you however if you take it for what it is then you will find this to be a very enjoyable book indeed. It has been written in a style that gives the reader the feeling that at times Nan is either writing in a diary or writing a book recalling her memories which at times you had to wonder if her account of this time was more to justify her actions of pursuing a married man. ![]()
