My Roman Year From the multi-million copy bestselling author of Call Me By Your Name

<p> <b>FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR <br> </b> <br> <b>'Aciman pieces together a rich tapestry of human emotion in a way few other contemporary writers can match.' <i>DAZED</i> </b> <br> <br> <b>'Transporting . . . sensuous.' <i>OBSERVER <br> </i>'Superb.' </b> <i>IRISH TIMES</i> <br> <b>'Compelling and witty.' </b> <i>NEW STATESMAN</i> <br> <br> 1960s Rome. As teenage André stands on the dock, his mother fusses over their luggage - 32 suitcases, trunks and tea chests that contain their world. The ship will refuel and return to Alexandria, the home where they have left their father, as the Aciman family begin a new adventure in Rome. André is now head of the family, with a little brother to keep in line and a mother to translate for - for although she's mute, she is nothing if not communicative. <br> <br> Equal parts transporting and beautiful, this coming of age memoir shares the luminous, fragile truth of life for a family forever in exile, living in Rome, but still yet to find a home.</p>
