Jhumpa Lahiri sets her gaze on the eternally beautiful city of Rome, illuminating the frailties of the human condition and dissecting lives lived on the margins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA man recalls a summer party that awakens an alternative version of himself. A couple haunted by a tragic loss return to seek consolation. An outsider family is pushed out of the block in which they hoped to settle. A set of steps in a Roman neighbourhood connects the daily lives of the city's myriad inhabitants. This is an evocative fresco of Rome, the most alluring character of all: contradictory, in constant transformation, and a home to those who know they can't fully belong but choose it anyway.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRich with Lahiri's signature gifts, Roman Stories is a masterful work from one of the finest writers of our time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTranslated from the Italian by Jhumpa Lahiri and Todd Portnowitz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 342g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 143 x 224 x 24 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781035017553\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jhumpa Lahiri","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44638726455546,"sku":"9781035017553","price":12.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1697213555783_book.jpg?v=1697393252","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/roman-stories-9781035017553","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
