Thank you for recognizing this brilliant man! I am a bookseller by trade & my favorite book to put into the hands of others is About Grace - just a masterful, beautiful work. One of the best books I've ever read in my life. I also just finished Four Seasons in Rome and am ready to move there right now. How did I ever leave when I was visiting?
