But in the 1930s she wore a different hat, traveling with her husband, renowned archaeologist Max Mallowan, as he investigated the buried ruins and ancient wonders of Syria and Iraq. Described by the author as a meandering chronicle of life on an archaeological dig, <em>Come, Tell Me How You Live</em> is Dame Agatha Christie's first-person account of her time spent in this breathtaking corner of the globe where recorded human history began. It is a fascinating, eye-opening, vibrant, and vivid portrait of a place, a people, and a past, by a legendary writer whose extraordinary popularity endures to this day; an altogether remarkable narrative of everyday life in a world now long since vanished.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Good and enjoyable....She has a delightfully light touch."--Country Life (UK)<br><br>"Perfectly delightful....Colorful, lively, and occasionally touching and thought-provoking."--Book & Bookmen (UK)<br>
