I've finished reading just now Donna Leon's superb book: "The Waters of Eternal Youth", and was glad finding this most interesting interview with her in KZbin. I was so impressed by the book as well as by this interview, and decided to share it with my friends in Facebook. Thanks a lot for this upload.

I just finished reading this, too, & enjoyed it, but wondered how the killer got into the apartment of Pietro. He didn't break the door & he didn't have keys, but no one seems concerned with this.

Why is she talking about Brunetti and the characters in the third person? 90% of the books are basically her expressing her own ideas and assigning them to Guido. Not only that, his wife is modeled after her. Some authors are quite good at inventing characters that have their own identities, but Ms. Leon isn’t one. For example, I get the sense that the books Guido reads are those she, as someone who was pursuing a PhD in Literature, herself knew a lot about.
