P.S. Doesn't this Rose Martini (spotted on design*sponge) look delicious?
This cocktail would make a wonderfully festive choice for today if you ask me.

This book takes place at an international newspaper based in Rome. The newspaper's somewhat motley crue of characters continue to chug along despite the knowledge that their paper (like most newspapers these days) is no longer what it once was.
Each chapter is told from a different character's point-of-view. As you weave your way through their stories (some incredibly sad, some sweet...most somewhere in between), the reader begins to recognize characters they've spent a chapter getting to know as they pop up in their colleagues' portions of the book.
Through the use of this crazy clever writing device, the author invites you into his characters' minds, only to have them show up later, and through those appearances, change everything you thought you knew about them.
This book came highly recommended by my lovely mother-in-law who always has great taste in reads.

Also wouldn't be opposed to trading in my rusty red lip shade of late for a tube of Mac's Lustre Lipstick in Fresh Brew.
