Agatha Christie
Gipsyâ€™s Acre was a truly beautiful upland site with views out to sea â€“ and in Michael Rogers it stirred a child-like fantasy. There, amongst the dark fir trees, he planned to build a house, find a girl and live happily ever after. Yet, as he left the village, a shadow of menace hung over the land. For this was the place where accidents happened. Perhaps Michael should have heeded the localsâ€™ warnings: â€˜Thereâ€™s no luck for them as meddles with Gipsyâ€™s Acre.â€™ Michael Rogers is a man who is about to learn the true meaning of the old saying â€˜In my end is my beginning.â€™,The title Endless Night was taken from William Blakeâ€™s Auguries of Innocence and describes Christieâ€™s favourite theme in the novel: a â€œtwistedâ€ character, who always chooses evil over good.,Christie finished Endless Night in six weeks, as opposed to the three-four months that most of her other novels took. Despite being in her seventies while writing it, she told an interviewer that being Michael, the twenty-something narrator, â€œwasnâ€™t difficult. After all, you hear people like him talking all the time.â€,The book is dedicated to Christie's relative "Nora Prichard from whom I first heard the legend of Gipsy's Acre." Gipsy's Acre was a field on the Welsh moors.
