Editorial Reviews

Absolutely enchanting, an ode to all the semi-magical towns and vibrant cities in the world where fate is decided. Love has many faces—and Mark Lamprell knows them all. This is a book for those willing to travel the road of love from the beginning, across the long middle, to the end, over and over again. (And, by the way: you will discover the secret places of Rome in every chapter!)”
—Nina George, author of New York Times bestseller The Little Paris Bookshop

From the Publisher

The genie of the city of Rome narrates this tale of love, performed in a soft voice by Steve West. Three couples and their stories become intertwined on a single day in Rome. Alice, a student from New York City; a couple whose marriage is shredding at the seams; and a woman and her sister-in-law are all in Rome for various reasons. Using diverse accents, West delivers most of the story steadily, yet at times his voice fills with passion. The three-part plot takes a long time to coalesce, testing the patience of listeners. But the descriptions of Rome are romantic, exciting, and scary, feelings experienced by lovers the world over. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
