The newsroom of an English-language international newspaper based in Rome is the setting for this touching and satiric story. The cast of characters and their lives are told in interconnected stories with headlines we’ll all remember. There’s also the running back-story of how this newspaper came to be in the 1950s. I’m glad the author chose to go from journalism to fiction. His writing is fresh, readable and just plain fun. No wonder so many people like this book!
