Hingham Public Library, Hingham, MA

Evening With the Author: Elaine Sciolino presents The Seine: The River that Made Paris The library is pleased to welcome Elaine Sciolino to discuss her latest book, The Seine. Blending memoir, travelogue, and history, The Seine is a love letter to Paris and the river that determined its destiny. Master storyteller and longtime New York Times foreign correspondent Elaine Sciolino explores the Seine through its lively characters - a bargewoman, a riverbank bookseller, a houseboat dweller, a famous cinematographer - and follows it from the remote plateaus of Burgundy through Paris and to the sea. The Seine is a vivid, enchanting portrait of the world’s most irresistible river. Elaine Sciolino is a contributing writer and former Paris bureau chief for the New York Times. She is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Only Street in Paris, and she has lived in Paris since 2002. This program will be held via Zoom. Registration will open on October 15.
