About

What did jewels mean to Hercule Poirot? Did Miss Marple have a favourite brooch? Agatha Christie mentions jewels throughout her novels, but do they have any special historical significance?

Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan will discuss the various mentions of rings and necklaces and precious stones found in Christie's books and what their historical (and personal) relevance was.

Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan is an Indian novelist. She has published eight books, most recently Soft Animal (Penguin Random House India, 2023). She has been a lifelong fan of Agatha Christie, starting from the age of 13. She lives in Berlin with her partner and their two cats.
