World So Wide
by Sinclair Lewis
The story of Hayden Chart, a young, recently widowed former army major and architect. He tries to find personal meaning in Florence. The beautiful American Dr. Olivia Lomond is an avid scientist who encourages her to grow her mind in the appreciation of art and history. But the worldly, honest Roxanne Eldrich, a hometown girl and reporter sent to Europe in 1950 to cover the Holy Year in Rome, eventually wins the Chart's heart in an incredible way.
