Edna Ferber’s classic paean of love to the Mississippi River and the showboats that ran up and down it is once again available in hardcover as a facsimile of the first edition.

The interviews give a first-hand look at history while capturing pearls of wisdom for the future. What I did forget was the scope and depth of the story, the fascinating subject of river boats, the commentary on society, marriage, deception, bravery - Oh I c
