PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
An Anglo-Italian, born in America, and raised outside Florence, Iris Origo led a privileged, charmed life. She also transformed a Tuscan estate, provided shelter to refugees during WWII and wrote a series of well-received books, including a classic memoir. Moorehead captures the World War II-era expatriate community in Tuscany, life at D'Orcia -- and the accomplishments, both literary and social of the remarkable Marchesa.
