I am so glad I finally picked this up to read, as this book was right up my street. I found it such a charming, well written, but casual account of twenty one months spent in Rome. The author moved to Italy’s capital with her husband and tells her readers eloquently about everyday Roman life, food, language, culture differences and shopping experiences. I loved every word!
Yes, this is just a story of everyday life in a strange city, but Miller writes with warmth and a friendly familiarity that makes it such an easy cozy read. If you enjoy travel writing, you will love this! And it will make you want to move to Rome too!
