About this listen

Emilia, an artist, arrives in Rome alone. What was supposed to be a romantic trip has, with the sudden end of her relationship, become a solitary one.

Six days lie ahead. She wanders the streets, surrendering herself to the music, food and beauty of the city.

But when she meets John, an American living out a seemingly idyllic existence in Rome, their instant connection challenges how she sees her past, her family and herself. As their intimacy deepens, can Emilia begin to imagine life anew?

Visceral, decadent and deeply evocative, Six Days in Rome is a novel about reckoning with complex pasts and choices made—and finding what you didn't know you were looking for.

Critic reviews

"A stunning writer and a brilliant transporting experience." (Lisa Taddeo, best-selling author of Three Women and Animal)

"Sensorial as hell.... An ode to funky wine labels, good taste and true inspiration, Francesca Giacco has penned a stunningly cool and stylish debut." (Paul Beatty, Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Sellout)

"If Sally Rooney and Frances Mayes co-wrote a novel in an Airbnb near the Spanish Steps, it might read something like Six Days in Rome." (David Ebershoff, best-selling author of The Danish Girl)

if I'm truthful I was a little disappointed . i was really looking forward to the descriptions of Rome . it just seemed a privilege women who is dumped and decided to continue with the trip to Rome she had organised for her and now ex partner. i was convinced it was going to really start but it didn't.

slightly disappointed
