Life doesn’t have a script. At least, it doesn’t have to. Hosts Katy Sewall and Tiffany Parks explore the challenges and joys of moving abroad and moving home. Whether you’re living overseas, or not — or not yet — join us weekly for unadulterated conversation. Get to know Rome. Laugh at our embarrassments and insights. Most of all, imagine the possibilities for your own life (and meet some famous authors along the way).
Looking for the perfect summer read, something light yet introspective and thoughtful that takes place in Rome? You’re in luck! This week we are joined by nationally bestselling, award-winning author Liam Callanan to talk about his new book, When in Rome, a “story of an opportunity to start over at midlife, a chance to save a struggling convent in the Eternal City, and the dramatic re-emergence of an old flame . . .”
We chat about what it’s like to write a book that takes place in a city you’ve never lived in, how travel inspires stories, how the moods of cities like Paris and Rome can influence the stories that are set there, and much more.
Check out an earlier interview with Liam about his last novel, Paris by the Book, an engaging and poignant story set in the City of Light.
