About this listen
A young American studying in Rome gets swept up in the glamorous world of cinema when he meets a beautiful Italian actress near the end of her career and an irrepressible American TV star hoping to revive his.
In this romantic and comic story about class, language, and the art of reinvention, “Nebraska Jack" Rigel is about to quit his Latin studies program at the Vatican when he suddenly finds himself face-to-face with the mysterious and ethereal Angelina Amadio, the famous Angel of Rome. Hired to translate the romantic feelings of the unpredictable former TV detective Ronnie Tower, Jack must navigate these two forces of nature in a Rome of late night bars and fancy villas, as he searches for his own role to play.

Loved it!
Sweet afternoon listen! Light, deep and delightful story. I’m still smiling in my chair as I contemplate authenticity vs feeling.

Lessons in Latin, and How to Write
A short story, full of ideas on how you can reinvent yourself to achieve your best self.
A series of happy accidents, takes a callow youth, whose only joy is in old films, to find his true vocation.
I wish I had read this much earlier in my life.
