National Best SellerFrom the best-selling author and Pulitzer Prize winner, a powerful nonfiction debut-an "honest, engaging, and very moving account of a writer searching for herself in words." -Kirkus Reviews (starred) In Other Words is a revelation.

In 2012 she decided to move to Rome with her family, for 'a trial by fire, a sort of baptism' into a new language and world.
