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

5.0

Anthony Doerr’s memoir of his year in Rome was a discover for me. I am from the province of Rome, and I thought to know Rome very well, but He gave me a new insight and perspective in this town. I found some of his description about Romans very true (Yes, we love little kids and we often start playing with them even though we don’t know them! And Yes we overdress often!).
He wrote sometimes that in our everyday life we stop noticing things because of “habit”, reading this book gave me the chance of seeing Rome with different eyes and I am grateful for this.
