The characters are almost as alluring as the culture and history of Italy, and the author’s imagery makes everything come to life. It’s reminiscent of Kevin Kwan’s \u003ci\u003eCrazy Rich Asians \u003c\/i\u003eseries, except instead of Singapore, readers are swept away with the rich and famous in Rome. This fast-paced page-turner will be perfect for a book club, or just a much needed getaway to a different country without fighting traffic and standing on long security lines at the airport.

A city where futile loves are born, where betrayals consume each other and falsehoods masquerade about, and where money and power bend everyone to their will. Pino Corrias deftly describes a desolate scene featuring characters both desperate and ferocious.” * La Repubblica *\u003cbr\u003e“Corrias writes effervescent dialogue and narrates for the pleasure of narration: it’s this very narrative enthusiasm that holds together tonal shifts that oscillate between existential epic . . . and romanticism.” * La Lettura *\u003cbr\u003e“Corrias is a natural writer: The interlacing stories seem to stand alone in the novel, driven by the power of the words in a continuous stream that prevents the reader from pausing to consider what is real and what is fiction.” * Il Centro *\u003cbr\u003e“Pino Corrias—already a reporter and investigative journalist—offers even more here: poisonous sarcasm, an excursion into the world of cinema, a portrait of Rome in its bloated excess, and a tart tribute to comedy, Italian-style.” * L’Espresso *\u003cbr\u003e“You have in your hands an ironic, bitter, and fierce novel that will stir up conflicting emotions.” * Huffington Post Italia *","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49531345535319,"sku":"9781501144950","price":20.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781501144950.jpg?v=1731882749","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/well-sleep-when-were-old-9781501144950","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
