520			_aRomans is an eclectic book, one without a theme, since Rome?the city, its history, and its people?is too big a subject for any one book. It is a hard book to place, containing both wise reflections on history and shrewd vignettes of present-day Roman society. The lives of both great and small are viewed with equal perception and compassion, famous sites are well described, and little-known sites are made intriguing. Sheridan is an English journalist who worked as a correspondent in Rome for many years. He loves Rome, and you know it. Nothing unifies this book but his own delight in this restaurant, this person, or this church, but his enthusiasm and facile prose mastery are more than enough.
