Three-time Dasher dad and local author Liam Callanan follows up his national bestseller Paris by the Book, with a magical new novel set in Rome. It's the story of a woman at midlife who's spent a career in real estate, specializing in old religious properties. She's had enough, though, and when a crumbling convent in Rome calls on her for help, she heads over-and falls in love. With the city, the convent, the women and the life they lead. Soon she wonders-instead of helping them sell, could she help the nuns stay? And could she stay herself and take vows? It's a complicated question--and that's even before her old college flame shows up. A starred review in Booklist said, "If Eat, Pray, Love was organized in a different order, it might feel a bit like [this] introspective and genuine exploration of the sacrifices and opportunities that come with a new outlook on life. Taking a wide view of love of all types-platonic, spiritual, romantic, geographic-When in Rome should appeal to fans of Kate Atkinson, Kate Weinberg, and Emma Straub." Local bookseller Daniel Goldin says, "I can't imagine anyone not wanting to go to Rome after reading this book." And the Catholic Courier says, "By turns funny, smart and faithful, Liam Callanan's real strength here is in showcasing the real struggles of ordinary Catholics to find grace and contentment in whatever vocation they choose."
