I finished this while my wife folded laundry, watching an episode of the Real Housewives.

11) The Imperfectionists: A Novel by Tom Rachman
Tom Rachman's first book is the (relatively) present-day story of an American newspaper in Rome and the people it employs. Each chapter focuses on an individual involved with the paper in some capacity with interstitial chapters detailing the history of the paper from its inception through the current period the regular stories inhabit. Additionally, the chapters all have a headline from an actual event dating when the chapter takes place.
