How does Rome feel to you considering all these aspects?įor Charmaine, Rome is a place where there is a lot of dialogue, people are interested in discussing and willing to engage. Her novel has different layers, and it touches on several current issues: race, gender discrimination, domestic violence, and cultural stereotypes. “They form part of the fabric of the community,” she says. For Charmaine, whose family lives across the ocean, life is also made of friends, colleagues, friendly neighbourhoods, and acquaintances. Such as Benny in New York or Eleonor in London experiencing the feelings of loneliness and isolation while living away from their family, childhood friends, and in a different country.
