The 1926 chapters focus on the investigation and her husband’s reaction to her disappearance. The chapters based in the earlier time focus on Agatha’s relationships with her husband, her mother, her sister, and her child. The book’s chapters alternate between two timelines - 11 days in 1926 versus Agatha’s earlier life - until the timeline converges for part two. Benedict takes that basic narrative and embellishes it extensively, exploring the years before the disappearance as well as the investigation around it and Agatha’s reappearance.


No one knows what really happened she claimed amnesia and no one ever came forward with a different story. Agatha had written a few books, but was not yet the famous, mystery-writing powerhouse that she became. Christie tells a fictionalized version of what happened when Agatha Christie disappeared for 11 days in 1926.
