Four Seasons in Rome: On Twins, Insomnia, and the Biggest Funeral in the History of the World by Anthony Doerr

4.0

So much good writing in this short (tired) memoir of Doerr’s year in Rome not long after his twins were born. It’s decidedly not fast-paced, but I especially loved glimpses into Doerr’s writing (hint: he didn’t get much done on his novel this year) and to the ways he sees the world. Perfect? Nah - he’d just had twins. Good? Oh, yes. I am already thinking of several friends with small children who might appreciate the implicit hope of this tiny memoir.
