In Leon's fifth Commissario Guido Brunetti mystery, the beating of renowned art historian Dotoressa Brett Lynch draws the contemporary Venetian police detective out of his warm and loving home and into the yearly onslaught of acqua alta, the torrential winter rains. Brett, an American who spearheaded a recent exhibition of Chinese pottery in Venice, lives with her lover, Flavia Petrelli, the reigning diva of La Scala. With his open mind and good sense, Brunetti finds himself more fazed by Flavia's breathtaking talent than by the nontraditional relationship between the two women.

"Ma vie" est l'autobiographie du révolutionnaire russe Léon Trotsky, écrite durant son exil et publiée en 1929. "Je ne puis nier que ma vie n'a pas été des plus ordinaires.

Bien entendu, il fallait aussi qu'il existât certains traits personnels pour que j'aie rempli la tâche, bonne ou mauvaise, que j'ai remplie."
