Four Seasons in Rome by Anthony Doerr

Book review: Four Seasons in Rome by Anthony Doerr As the title perfectly implies, this is the narrative of a year spent living in Rome. What gives this memoir a twist is that the author and his wife go to Rome with their two small twin boys. He is on a year fellowship in Rome, so has some help in getting set up with housing etc, however, navigating a country where you don’t speak the language while trying to take care of two small children bring unique challenges to say the least. This is a nice story of how you can do something that at first seems impossible, and provides insight into living in Rome and its day to day trials.
