Come, Tell Me How You Live by Agatha Christie

5.0

Agatha Christie's second husband, Max Mallowan, was an archaeologist. This book is her account of an archaeological expedition the couple took to Syria in the 1930s. The archaeology of that era seems pretty shocking now. It was more pot hunting than careful excavation but it was standard practice at that time. Even so it was fascinating to read about their explorations in a Syria that no longer exists and the many cultures and religious groups that lived in the area. This book is very well written and hilarious in places. Highly recommended.
