THE LONELY GOD

(This is actually,partly a short review & a  summary of the story)


The book " While the light lasts " was first published on 4th August,1997 as a hardcover& then on 20th July 1998 as a paperback,both by HarperCollins.

'The Lonely God' was one among the stories of 'While the Light Lasts'
written by the Queen of Crime,Agatha Christie.
It's a classic & beautiful romantic stuff which portrays a pure love
between Frank Oliver,the 40 year old man & 21 year old, 'The Little
Lonely Lady'. 


The plot begins from the British Museum & both the
persons always stare at a 'Lonely God',a grey stone at which the
visitors never had any glance before.They were watching each other & a
sense of intimacy built up between them.Once Frank made a reason to
talk with her by buying a new kerchief & intentionally asking whether
hers was lost or not.Soon they became friends.They shared their
histories in which Frank's claim of being a painter was spot on.Both
were alone in the World & one day he proposed her.
The response from the Lady was remarkable,"You brought the
kerchief."Novelist shows the cunning femininity here.She accepted his
proposal & admitted she loves him for the way he's been.But,she left
him keeping a letter to him that they could never marry.
The story has a vital turning point here & I would say,a perfect one.
He began to paint & he was becoming famous & once he read a story from
a magazine,got impressed & started painting on the particular
topic.Surprisingly,it gained a wide popularity & made him a prominent
status.One day,the Lonely Lady returned to the British Museum &
started weeping at the idol.Soon Frank met her & it was the most
sentimental scene of the story.Her claim that she was the owner of
that story & she believed him to paint on it.The climax was too
romantic & altogether Agatha could move my heart by her heavenly touch
of words.
