Absent in the Spring, by Mary Westmacott, aka Agatha Christie

Summary: As Joan is travelling home from Baghdad, she is stranded in an out-of-the-way railroad station for several days with nothing to do. And in the process learns something about herself and her life.

Comments: First, this most definately is not a mystery, much as I migh has expected after seeing "Agatha Christie" written in big letters across the top. Second, Joan annoyed me a lot. But I guess she was meant to be annoying. But still, the book being a journey of self-discovery of a person I didn't much like, didn't interest me very much. But I guess it was a nice reminder that once in awhile one should take an unbiased look at one's self and one's life to see if it really is as one thinks.
