Many people dream of living by water - if not all year round, at least for part of the time. Lakeside, riverside and seaside settings can be soothing, liberating and energizing, providing the ideal environment in which to unwind or to be creative. This book is a beautiful and alluring evocation of this way of life, based on detailed descriptions of 20 waterside homes around the world - from a simple houseboat on the Seine in Paris to a classical Caribbean villa, from a log cabin in Maine to a penthouse overlooking Sydney Harbour.
