About this title

From the Publisher:

Agatha Christie writing as Mary Westmacott

The first of Agatha Christie's groundbreaking non-crime novels

'When Miss Westmacott reaches the world of music, which she really knows, her book suddenly comes alive and vivifies her characters with it.' - New Statesman

About the Author:

Agatha Christie is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. It was her sharp observations of the ambitions that drive people, their relationships and the conflicts that erupt between them that added life and sparkle to her ingenious detective stories. When, writing as Mary Westmacott, she turned this understanding of human nature away from the crime genre, she created bittersweet novels, love stories with a jagged edge, as compelling and memorable as the best of her work.
