By Tom Rachman (269 pp)
Hannah was reading this when she visited and she liked it so I grabbed a copy when we went to the bookstore. It's another one of those linked stories novels and is set at an international newspaper located in Rome. I mostly liked it. The writing and characterization are fantastic. I thought some of the stories unraveled a bit and a couple of the characters were unforgivably pitiful. Overall, I recommend.
A favorite line: Nobody throws anything away here; nobody knows whose job that is.
There was also a good rant about misuse of the world "literally."
