What to expect
Six days lie ahead. She wanders the streets, surrendering herself to the music, food and beauty of the city.
But when she meets John, an American living out a seemingly idyllic existence in Rome, their instant connection challenges how she sees her past, her family and herself. As their intimacy deepens, can Emilia begin to imagine life anew?
Visceral, decadent and deeply evocative, Six Days in Rome is a novel about reckoning with complex pasts and choices made - and finding what you didn't know you were looking for.

Critics Review
Francesca Giacco is a stunning writer and Six Days in Rome is a brilliant transporting experience-a novel about belonging with heart and heat; a gorgeous and literary holiday
Sensorial as hell . . .an ode to funky wine labels, good taste, and true inspiration, Francesca Giacco has penned a stunningly cool and stylish debut
If Sally Rooney and Frances Mayes co-wrote a novel in an Airbnb near the Spanish Steps, it might read something like Six Days in Rome. Smart, keenly observed, and deeply felt, this is a book for anyone who’s ever journeyed abroad to find themselves
One of the ‘Best Beach Reads of 2022’: a ‘sensual novel of rage, heartbreak, and desire’
Giacco’s rendering of collecting pieces of a shattered heart is relatable and encouraging . . . But an even greater draw is the feeling that just under a week in Italy really is included in the cover price
Giacco’s debut is an intimate, entertaining, clear-eyed evocation of a disillusioned young female artist’s coming of age amongst the ruins of Rome and like her heart-broken narrator, very good company
A masterful debut – a literary travelogue that maps both the internal and external, capturing the intimate fireworks of heartbreak and the endless question of identity, alongside the sumptuous backdrop of Rome. Francesca Giacco has written a novel as artful as it is affecting
Elegant . . . Upscale escapism
Sensual and deliberately paced . . . Giacco revels in her setting, providing rich descriptions of the streets, food, and people Emilia encounters . . . Sumptuously written
