Down The Nile by Rosemary Mahoney
An exciting and amusing adventure that offers a fresh view of Egypt in the past and the present - by a prize-winning author
Mahoney, who has been rowing for 10 year, brilliantly juxtaposes an account of her own palm-blistering hours on the Nile...with the diary entries of two Victorian travelers-Gustave Flaubert and Florence Nightingale. * Lisa Fugard, NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW *
Sensuous and richly textured writing and an eye for vivid and startling details * NEW YORK TIMES *
Utterly frank; sometimes rather scary; often extremely witty, brave and revealing in its generalizations; and above all essentially kind * Jan Morris *
