I Wouldn't Leave Rome to Go to Heaven

In this wise and humorous novel, three single women, all expatriates living in Rome, face middle-age: Margaret walked out on her husband as soon as her son was old enough to leave home, and she's never regretted it. She relishes her solitary lifestyle until illness threatens her independence. Katja, a former model, still believes that Mr. Right will come along and she fights hard to stay beautiful until he does. Francesca has recently ended a relationship she hopes will be her last big mistake. She wants to slink into a cozy old age alone, but the dark-eyed men of Rome are impossible to ignore.
