Author: Merle Levin
The World According to Merle is a wildly humorous and heartwarming memoir about a woman who defies age and convention. At 75, Merle is a self-described “dangerous old woman” – a vibrant force of nature who’s lived a full, rich life on her own terms. Whether she’s four-season swimming with her “Soggy Bottoms” group, dancing naked around a fire in the Kalahari Desert or laughing through passionate arguments with Jeff, her husband of over 50 years, Merle has never been a fan of rules. Born into a 1950s Jewish family, Merle’s adventurous spirit led her to a life of rebellion and bold choices – from fleeing apartheid in the ’70s to starting anew in Canada with little money and even fewer plans.
