Christmas is lovely – the turkey, the tinsel, the family, the washing up. But it is possible to have too much of a good thing. Escape the festive season and take off for the Eternal City by downloading ROME ALONE free at Amazon Kindle.

ROME ALONE will be on special offer for Christmas – and will cost absolutely nothing, zero, zilch, nada, niet and diddly squat to download on 24, 25 and 26 December. Hurrah!

Stroll down the Via Vittorio Veneto or hang out at the Trevi Fountain with Bee and Alzheimer’s expert Dr Neil McCarthy without spending a penny, euro, cent, ruble, peso or bitcoin.

Shortlisted for the Writers’ and Artists’ Yearbook’s Centenary New Novel Award.

Adult content – amore and scenes of shopping, vino rosso and gelati.

Buon viaggio – e Buon Natale!
