Description
Suzanne Toren’s exquisite enunciation and no-nonsense manner meld beautifully with Donna Leon’s sardonic, witty reflections on Venice and its denizens. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile Magazine’s Robin Whitten discuss how American-born Leon has made her home in the watery city for more than 40 years, and the long-running mystery series she’s penned set in Venice. These essays, first published in 2013, explore Venice’s oddity and inscrutability in depth, as well as touching on Leon’s New Jersey childhood. Toren narrates it all with perfect timing and a wink.
