Dickens was conscious of the `many friends` the novel had won for him, & `the many hearts it turned to me when they were full of private sorrow`, & it remains one of the most familiar & well-loved of his works. ...

Navigating the Mississippi River from Minneapolis to New Orleans, Raban opens himself to experience the river in all her turbulent & unpredictable old glory. Going wherever the current takes him, he joins a coon-hunt in Savana, falls for a girl in St Louis, worships with black Baptists in Memphis, hangs out with the housewives of Pemiscot & the hog-king of Dubuque. Through tears of laughter, we are led into the heartland of America with its hunger & hospitality, its inventive energy & its charming lethargy & come to know something of its soul. The journey is as much the story of Raban as it is of the Mississippi. Navigating the dangerous, ever-changing waters in an unsuitably fragile aluminium skiff, he immerses himself with an irresistible emotional intensity as he tries to give shape to the river & the story finding himself by turns vulnerable, curious, angry &, like all of us, sometimes foolishly in love. ...
