Ein Leben in Geschichten

Donna Leon has experienced a lot, in America, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Italy, of course, or in Switzerland. But no sooner does an adventure happen to her than it becomes an exciting story. She tells us about her youth on the farm and about curfew pyjama parties in Iran, money shortages and a Fiat 600. About how she came to Italy as a "chaperone", about the hunt for the perfect cappuccino and small miracles in the mountains.
