520    "Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that 
       she was "just" an ordinary housewife, when clearly she 
       wasn't? She was born in 1890 into a world that had its own
       rules about what women could and couldn't do. Lucy 
       Worsley's biography is not just of a massively, 
       internationally successful writer. It's also the story of 
       a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, 
       became an astonishingly successful working woman. With 
       access to personal letters and papers that have rarely 
       been seen, Lucy Worsley's biography is both authoritative 
       and entertaining and makes us realize what an 
       extraordinary pioneer Agatha Christie was--truly a woman 
       who wrote the twentieth century"--|cProvided by publisher.
