Description
Blending memoir, travelogue, and history, The Seine is a love letter to Paris and the river that determined its destiny.
Master storyteller and longtime New York Times foreign correspondent Elaine Sciolino explores the Seine through its lively characters—a bargewoman, a riverbank bookseller, a houseboat dweller, a famous cinematographer—and follows it from the remote plateaus of Burgundy, through Paris, and to the sea.
The Seine is a vivid, enchanting portrait of the world's most irresistible river.
