A look at the history & cultures which have developed by the side of three of Europe's greatest rivers: the Rhine, the Rhone & the Po. Following them from their sources in the mountains, we see the way these rivers have shaped the landscape & the lives of those who have lived near them.
I enjoyed this mix of history (I didn't know that Da Vinci was the one to pioneer the canal lock system of raising & lowering the waterline to transport boats),
My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Elliott & Thompson, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
