☰Saving Rome by Megan Williams

A collection of funny and touching stories about life in modern Rome. Many focus on expat women, but unlike much of this genre, Megan Williams doesn't romanticise Italy. Saving Rome is an honest, sometimes chaotic portrait of the city — the bureaucracy, the noise, the beauty, the frustration — and a good read for anyone wanting to know what living there is actually like rather than what the guidebooks say.
