The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman

The Dial Press
The Imperfectionists is Tom Rachman's first published novel, written from his experiences working for an Italian newspaper. While his writing has the journalistic feel of a good news story, Rachman's voice is empathetic and natural as each chapter takes on a personal anecdote of someone who works for the paper. While this novel came out in the spring, I recommend picking up The Imperfectionists now. For the coming winter months, Rachman's debut feels as warmly nostalgic as beginning the morning waking up to a newspaper and a cup of Joe.
