Mort Rosenblum, a celebrated foreign correspondent, invites us
aboard his fifty-four-foot launch tied up in the centre of Paris
and introduces us to the characters who share his life along the
river, ranging from eccentric movie stars and reclusive novelists
to barge families just scraping by. He then hauls in the bow line
for an unforgettable tour of the river itself from its source to
its mouth. The Secret Life of the Seine is a love story between man
and boat and the river that they live on, a discourse on the
sensual beauty of France and the art of living well. In the
tradition of A Year in Provence, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Paris to
the Moon, here is what Garry Trudeau called "a moveable feast
[with] a top speed of five knots,fast enough for fun, languid
enough for dreaming. Take a trip you'll never take: This is what
books are for."
