Requests:  0 Summary:  "In the spring of 1978, as a young journalist in Paris, Elaine Sciolino was seduced by a river. In The Seine, she tells the story of that river through its rich history and lively characters-a bargewoman, a riverbank bookseller, a houseboat- dweller, a famous cinematographer known for capturing the river's light. She patrols with river police, rows with a restorer of antique boats, discovers a champagne vineyard, and even dares to swim in the Seine. Sciolino's keen eye and vivid prose bring the river to life as she discovers its origins on a remote plateau in Burgundy, where a pagan goddess healed pilgrims at an ancient temple. She follows the Seine to Le Havre, where it meets the sea. Braiding memoir, travelogue, and history through the Seine's winding route, Sciolino offers a love letter to Paris and the river at its heart and invites readers to explore its magic."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 944.36 Sc Checked out 07/13/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 944.36 Sc Checked out 07/09/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 944.36 Sc Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 944.36 Sc Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 944.36 Sc Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
