LIKE NEW in LIKE NEW jacket. 1st Edition. 5.8 x 1.3 x 8.65 inches. pp. 341. HARDBOUND-Deckle Edge, April 21, 2009, Publisher: Knopf; 1st Edition (April 21, 2009) Language: English HARDBOUND: 352 pages ISBN-10: 0307270823 ISBN-13: 978-0307270825 Item Weight: 1.1 pounds. In 1964, a newly married Canadian couple settles into a Nile River houseboat moored below the towering figures of Abu Simbel. Avery is one of the engineers responsible for the dismantling and reconstruction of the temple as it's rescued from the rising waters of the Aswan Dam. He is a machine-worshipper, yet exquisitely sensitive to the dichotomy of creation and destruction of which machines are capable. Jean is a botanist by avocation and passion, interested in everything that grows. They had met on the banks of the St. Lawrence River and watched together as the construction of the seaway changed the course of the river and swallowed towns, homes, lives. Now, at the edge of another world about to be lost forever, Avery and Jean create their own world, exchanging the moments that are the mortar of our days, innocent memories we don't know we hold until given the gift of the eagerness of another. But that gift will not be enough to bind them when tragedy strikes, and they will go back to separate lives in Toronto.
