Agatha Christie, the Unknown Assyrian and Baklava

The author attended Baghdad University & worked at his brother's bookstore in the evening. It was at this same shop where he encountered a Christian-spirited Agatha Christie in 1955. The author's miscalculated confession & his provincial attitude toward a good-natured Agatha Christie during her brief visit to Coronet Bookshop in Baghdad is only one impelling cause for his writing. The consequences of the meeting & the aftermath of a bloody Iraqi revolution in 1958 triggered a chain of unexpected challenges for the young Assyrian. This compact autobiography has an old-fashioned conclusion, namely, ten healthy Middle Eastern food recipes familiar to Agatha Christie. The menu includes the all popular baklava--a special treat & celebration in honor of the graceful British Dame. The distinctive feature of the book is its upbeat tone which is certain to appeal to the pragmatic as well as the curious.
