A trip in time and space
This book provides an insight-filled trip, accompanying Max Mallowan through his school and university days, his life with Agatha Christie,his archaeological excavations in Iraq and Syria. Like Agatha, he has a keen insight into character, and his descriptions of people are incisive and thoughtful (as well as kindly)! His descriptions of the excavation process and findings help the reader to realize how many different skills are required for that work.
I heartily recommend this book.
