5. The Ancient City of Ur
Andrew Eames visits the ancient city of Ur, where Agatha met her future husband the archaeologist Max Mallowan. From 2004.
In the final reading, Andrew Eames continues to retrace the English crime writer's 1928 journey and visits the ancient city of Ur where Agatha met her future husband, the archaeologist Max Mallowan.
In 1928, crime writer Agatha Christie made a spur-of-the-moment decision to go on holiday, alone, to Iraq. Then in her late thirties she was already a popular and successful novelist, but her 14 year marriage to Archie Christie had recently ended and her comfortable life at Sunningdale had become oppressive.
Written and read by Andrew Eames
Abridged in five parts by Laurence Wareing.
Producer: David Jackson Young
