I heard about this one through Anne Bogel's podcast (I say that about at least one book a month, which I love!) and was fascinated by the premise, since it's the account of Doerr's year spent in Italy writing, which led to All the Light We Cannot See (a book I'm still raving about to everyone I know). It was a beautifully written journal of his time there with twin baby boys and his wife, balancing the magic of Italy with the hard work of writing and the even more challenging work of parenting newborns in a foreign country with a language barrier. It was just as beautifully written as his fiction, and such a fun peek behind the scenes of the life of authors. Loved this one!
