A Daughter's a Daughter and Other Novels: A Mary Westmacott Omnibus

Finally Available Again--Three Classic Novels by Agatha Christie writing as Mary Westmacott First published between 1930 and 1956, the six novels written by Agatha Christie under the name Mary Westmacott, regarded by some as the writer's finest work, show a very different side of her talent. What they share with her other fiction is Christie's gift for sharp observations about people, the ambitions that drive them, their relationships, and the conflicts that erupt between them. This omnibus edition brings together three of the Westmacott novels: A Daughter's Daughter: A daughter's opposition to her mother's plan to remarry threatens to destroy their relationship Unfinished Portrait: Bereft of three people she has held most dear, Cecilla must decide if she has the strength to come to terms with the past. The Burden: The burden of one sister's love for her younger sister--whom she's sworn to protect--has a drmatic effect on both their lives.

Agatha Christie is the author of six novels as Mary Westmacott as well as, under her own name, eighty crim novels and story collections, fourteen plays, and several other books. She is the greator of the two most enduring figures in crim literature--Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple--and author of The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in the history of modern theatre. She died in 1976.
