Description
Though she owned several houses, Agatha Christie had one surpassing favorite: Greenway, on the Dart estuary in Devon. She was born nearby, bought it in 1938, and spent all her summers there until her death in 1976. It was, she wrote, “the loveliest house in the world.” Greenway makes a thinly disguised appearance in at least two of her novels, and nearby settings also play a crucial role in her books. This book explores and illustrates the significance of Devon in Christie’s work, and of Greenway in particular — its magnificent gardens, its beautiful setting on the estuary, and her relationship with its servants and staff. Richly illustrated with rare archival images and evocative photographs of Greenway and the surrounding countryside, Agatha Christie at Home is a delightful look at the life and work of the world’s best-selling novelist.

My introduction to Agatha Christie's works was at the age of nine when an aunt gifted me one of her novels. Thus began a lifelong love of Christie's works as well as a fascination for well-written mysteries. It has been several years since I last read a Christie novel, and I've been getting reacquainted with the author via her autobiography, An Autobiography, and also several other books about the author, Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks: Fifty Years of Mysteries in the Making, and Agatha Christie: Murder in the Making: More Stories and Secrets from Her Notebooks.Agatha Christie at Home explores the links between Christie's beloved South Devon, where two of her most beloved homes are located, and her works. Of the homes that Christie lived in through her life, two had the most influence on her - the home where Christie was born, i.e. Ashfield in Torquay, and Greenway which she purchased prior to WW II and which she spent most of her summers in (though curiously, did not do much writing in). This book does an admirable job of providing readers with wonderful insights into Christie's works as influenced by these homes, and of how some of the scenes in her stories were inspired or derived from these places.The book is divided thus:Foreword by Matthew Prichard (Agatha Christie's grandson)The Author (Agatha Miller-Christie-Mallowan)The Houses (From Dolls' House to Greenway)The Households (Servants and Staff)The Home Town (Torquay)The Home County (From Dartmoor to the River Dart)The Parish (Galmpton and Churston)The House (Greenway and its Gardens)The Legacy (The Tourism and the Brand)There is also a select bibliography, further information (places to visit, hotels, transport, website info, and tourist information), and an index.The book is lavishly illustrated throughout with archival photographs in both B&W, and color. It is a delight to peruse, and I hope that I will be able to visit Greenway someday!
