Biographie de Donna Leon
Donna Leon is the author of the much-loved, bestselling series of novels featuring Commissario Brunetti and one of The Times' 50 Greatest Crime Writers. Widely considered one of the best detective series ever, with admirers including Ursula K. Le Guin and Antonia Fraser, the Brunetti Mysteries have won numerous awards around the world and have been translated into thirty-five languages. After teaching English in Saudi Arabia, Iran and China, Donna Leon moved to Venice in 1981, having fallen in love with the city, its food, culture and people.
A fluent Italian speaker, she lived there for thirty years before moving to Switzerland, though she still spends around a week each month in the City of Bridges - she has said about Venice, 'Where else in the world is everything you look at beautiful ? ' Published in her eightieth year, Give Unto Others is her thirty-first novel.
