The Cappuccino Chronicles: An American Journalist's Decade in Rome - Paperback

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to retire in Rome?

After a sabbatical in Rome, during which he fell in love with the city and its people, American journalist John Henderson spent eleven years trying to return. With the newspaper industry crumbling around him like an ancient ruin, he finally made it. He retired to Rome and found her just as beautiful and charming as ever. The Cappuccino Chronicles: An American Journalist's Decade in Rome, is about an American expat's life in a glamorous city few visitors ever really know. Rome is beauty, food, wine, art, afternoon break, and yes, cappuccino. But it is also sixteenth century public services and indecipherable language. With a journalist's keen eye for detail, truth, and sarcasm, John removes the veneer from Rome with wit and thoughtfulness, telling what it's really like to live in The Eternal City.
