An Award-Winning Author
From a childhood in the company of her New Jersey family and summers spent selling homegrown tomatoes by the roadside, Donna Leon has long been open to adventure. In 1976, she made the spontaneous decision to teach English in Iran, before finding herself swept up in the early days of the 1979 Revolution. After teaching stints in China and Saudi Arabia, she finally landed in Venice. Having recently celebrated her eightieth birthday, Leon now confronts the dual challenges and pleasures of aging. Suffused with music, food, and her fierce sense of humor, Wandering Through Life offers Donna Leon at her most personal.
