The rights for the upcoming Nina de Gramont‘s novel titled The Christie Affair, which is a reimagining of Agatha Christie‘s disappearance for eleven days, have been bought by Miramax TV, as reported by Deadline. The British series will be adapted by Calendar Girls alumn Juliette Towhidi.

The novel will be set in 1926, in a beautiful British spa town named Harrogate, and it will follow Agatha Christie’s 11-day disappearance when her husband’s affair became public. The story will be told from the perspective of the mistress Nan O’Dea (a fictional version of the real-life mistress Nancy Neele). Agatha and Nan become allies, while the whole world around them falls silent. The Christie Affair is a part love story, part study of the female bond, and part murder mystery.
