Description
The Imperfectionists is a novel about endings - the end of life, the end of sexual desire, the end of the era of newspapers - and about what might rise afterwards. Tom Rachman's story interweaves the lives of eleven unusual and endearing characters.
The newspaper at the heart of the novel was founded in Rome in the 1950s, a product of passion and a multi-millionaire's fancy. As it faces demise in the new digital era, its staff struggle to notice. Yet, their personal lives and relationships continue to unfold.
This poignant and humorous novel explores the complexities of human connection and the power of storytelling in the face of change.
