Features: This book was written by Agnes Inglis, the wife of Agatha Christie, and published in 1932, four years before Christie's death. It covers the life of Christie from her birth until the outbreak of the September 18th Incident in 1931, serving as a biography of her. Agnes Inglis was also a missionary. After Christie's first wife passed away, Agnes married Christie in the autumn of 1892 in Yingkou, and they remained together for the rest of their lives. Therefore, the historical facts recorded in the book are largely based on the author's personal experiences, making them highly reliable. During the first decade of Christie's work in Shenyang (1883-1893), Agnes's involvement was limited. Fortunately, Christie's book Ten Years in Manchuria: The Story of a Medical Missionary in Shenyang provides supplementary and corroborating information.
