À propos de cet audio

A captivating novel of self-discovery by Agatha Christie, written under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott.

Agatha Christie, famous for her ingenious crime novels, also wrote about crimes of the heart.Written under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott, Christie’s tales of romantic suspense further explore the human psychology she was so intrigued by, freed from the expectations of her mystery fans.

In one of six novels written under this nom de plume, Absent in the Spring tells the story of Joan Scudmore who, returning from a visit to her daughter in Iraq, finds herself unexpectedly alone and stranded in an isolated rest house by flooding of the railway tracks. This sudden solitude compels Joan to assess her life for the first time ever and face up to many difficult truths about herself. Looking back over the years, Joan painfully re-examines her attitudes, relationships and actions and becomes increasingly uneasy about the person who is revealed to her…

I have listened to and read a number of Agatha Christie's stories and they all contain murder. This one contains murder of people's tolerance : how it must feel to deal with this lady, the main character of the story. She is too preoccupied with herself and no wonder her family doesn't like her! She thinks she has changed, but as we all know, the more things change ,the more they remain the same! Her poor husband! It affected me too! That's why I called it murder!
