🔽 Book review and notes 🔽

Agatha Christie writing as Mary Westmacott.
I didn't really know about this when I read it, though it's not a crime story, the brilliance of her writing is there.

On her way back from Baghdad, she thinks back about her family.
It's the struggle we all go through, especially if you are a mother, imagining that you are a victim.
I sacrifice my life for the family, I prepare everything for you so you don't have to make a mistake.
Her husband is kind so he lets her do her way, that is, do what she thinks he wants, which is, what he really wants.
But that, is her happiness.
