Marco Chronicles
To Rome, Without Love
Get ready to have all your illusions of the glamorous Italian expat life shattered in this hilarious, irreverent memoir of a young American woman''s romantic (or rather, unromantic) misadventures in the eternal city.
Handsome, charming Roman men; perfectly made cappuccino and risotto; breathtakingly beautiful antiquities and that incomparable Italian light—none of these are perhaps quite as idyllic as they might seem to the casual traveler.
With a jaded eye but an always vulnerable heart, Geoghegan gives us the anti-Eat, Pray, Love, a tale every bit as atmospheric but way funnier than the runaway best-seller.
This is what life in Italy really looks like when you''re a 30-something woman running from grief and trying to find the way back to love.
