Book Review: THE DELIGHT OF BEING ORDINARY by Roland Merullo (fiction, 2017)

The narrator, Paolo dePadova, is a cousin and trusted First Assistant to the Pope of Rome. The Pope has been having some very odd dreams, “almost like God is sending me messages in a kind of code. I want to get away for three or four days vacation. No formalities, no guards, no publicity. Just you and I; your wife Rosa, if she wants to come.” Among the state visitors that day is the Dalai Lama, Buddhist leader in exile from Tibet. He, too, has been having similar dreams, and is invited to go along.
