This travel account follows the author on a voyage down the Yangtze River, one of China's great waterways. He makes the journey in the company of a group of wealthy Americans, and the trip becomes a lens through which to see the country, its landscapes and the people who live along the banks. Part reportage and part personal narrative, the book is a portrait of a journey that is as much about the travellers' encounters as about the river itself.
