Lake Wobegon goes to Italy in Garrison Keillor's latest
Twelve Wobegonians fly to Rome to decorate a war hero's grave, led by Marjorie Krebsbach, with radio host Gary Keillor along for the ride. The pilgrimage is inspired by a phone call from an Italian woman seeking her Lake Wobegon roots and by a memoir O Paradiso by a farm wife who found the secret of life and love in Italy. And by marjorie's longing to win back the love of her husband Carl. Far from home, sitting in the rain in the Piazza Navona, the pilgrims talks about themselves, as they never could do in the Chatterbox Café.
"You're not going to write about this, I hope," says Irene Bunsen. "Of course I am. I invented this town," says Mr. Keillor. "Oh my, aren't you something," she replies.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. People of Lake Wobegon never travel without a sense of mission--in this case, to decorate a war hero's grave, after a phone call from an Italian woman seeking her Lake Wobegon roots. And Marjorie Krebabach, inspired by a memoir, "O Paradiso", by a farm wife who found the secret of life and love in Italy, believes she can win back the love of her husband Carl. Far from home, drinking wine in the rain in the Piazza Navona, the pilgrims talk about themselves, their faded dreams, as radio host Gary Keillor sits nearby, taking notes. "You're not going to write about this, I hope," says Irene Bunsen. "Of course I am. I invented this town, says Mr. Killer. "Oh my, aren't you something," she replies. Seller Inventory # 785

Wobegon goes abroad in this rousing and moving story of a group trip to Rome.
