Book Reviews of As the Romans Do: An American Family's Italian Odyssey
Book Review: Funny and True
Summary: 5 Stars
Beyond being well written, Epstein's book describes the life in Rome in a funny and sharp way. Picturing life in the capital city means picturing life in the whole peninsula too. Exploring the point of view of a foreigner approaching Italy and dealing with its contradictions (especially when the writer comes from a more efficient country) is undoubtly very interesting for an Italian person as I am. To cut a long story short, I've found "As the Romans do" so enthralling that I coundn't help but reading it all in a day!
