Life with a View: A Turkish Quest is the story of Toni Sepeda and her partner Craig, Americans who fall in love with Black Sea Turkey and decide to build a house with a “view of the sea” on the coast. Their heads filled with the legends of those who came before them—Ulysses, Jason and the Argonauts, Xenophon—they draw parallels between the struggles of the antique heroes and their own modern quest to overcome unforeseen obstacles, battle for water and electricity, and finally persevere and even flourish in their new abode.
About the Author
Toni Sepeda grew up in Southern California, but has lived in Italy and Turkey since the 1970s. With a PhD in Literature from the University of Reading in England and advanced degrees in Art History, she has been a professor for the University of Maryland, European Division for more than thirty years, teaching in London and Paris in addition to Italy. Toni and her partner of more than twenty years, Craig, divide their time between a small organic farm and vineyard in the Dolomites, a 400-year-old house in Venice, and an isolated beach house on the Turkey’s Black Sea coast.
Her passions for travel, food and art have been given scope in guide books and a recent collaboration on Venetian cuisine. She is presently at work on another book about literary walks in Venice.
