FOUR SEASONS IN ROME: ON TWINS, INSOMNIA AND THE BIGGEST FUNERAL IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD
by Anthony Doerr

Upon receiving an American Academy scholarship, Doerr, along with his wife and newborn twins, arrive in Rome for a year-long stay.
Doerr writes, lyrically, about being parents, having twins, learning Italian, eating the marvelous food, exploring the city and countryside, meeting Romans and falling in love with the Eternal City.
Four Seasons in Rome is a wonderful book, beautifully written.
