In "come, tell me how you live" Agatha describes Katherine Keely as a woman who is adored by the people surrounding her, but who is also rather egocentric. The part about the adoration surely is seen with Lady Angkatell too. Any thoughts?Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06500183466551954700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-19323783502189407542012-04-01T11:35:28.629+09:302012-04-01T11:35:28.629+09:30Kerrie - Thank you for an excellent review of a te...Kerrie - Thank you for an excellent review of a terrific novel! I really do love the characterisation in this story and you're quite right that Christie does explore that ties that bind people together. I also think she raises some fascinating psychological issues too, such as the nature of passion for one's work as well as social issues such as the class issue. All in all, a highly-recommended book on the Margot-scale, too :-).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-38219423424419965782012-04-01T10:32:05.417+09:302012-04-01T10:32:05.417+09:30I absolutely love this book and your review of it ...I absolutely love this book and your review of it has made me want to pick it up once again.neerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986509319841061021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-21774214880875085852012-04-01T09:58:26.436+09:302012-04-01T09:58:26.436+09:30That's good Irene.
