Publisher's Summary

A young American studying in Rome gets swept up in the glamorous world of cinema when he meets a beautiful Italian actress near the end of her career and an irrepressible American TV star hoping to revive his.

In this romantic and comic story about class, language, and the art of reinvention, “Nebraska Jack" Rigel is about to quit his Latin studies program at the Vatican when he suddenly finds himself face-to-face with the mysterious and ethereal Angelina Amadio, the famous Angel of Rome. Hired to translate the romantic feelings of the unpredictable former TV detective Ronnie Tower, Jack must navigate these two forces of nature in a Rome of late night bars and fancy villas, as he searches for his own role to play.

So fun to listen to!

I admit I love Rome so when I saw this book I was I intrigued. Turns out it was fun and witty and I enjoyed it very much. Edoardo Ballerini is a great narrator and I could picture each character vividly. A fun listen if you plan on going for a long walk.
