Donna Leon | Appel Salon | March 10, 2020

"I think it must be terribly difficult for policemen to deal with violent death on a day-to-day basis. In Venice that's certainly not the case. In the last 29 years, there have been more murders in my books than there have been in Venice."--Donna Leon
Donna Leon appeared in the Bram & Bluma Appel Salon to the Toronto Reference Library on March 10th, 2020, in conversation with Johanna Schneller.

She is so smart. Good interview. I enjoy her as a thoughtful person and want to read her next book. She has her own shelf, where ever I live. I loan to favored friends who will give my book back to me. I respect her.
