Using the light fiction of an uncle touring with his niece and her children, Dole wanders from Lausanne around Lake Leman to Chillon, Geneva and up into the Alps and the Jura. History and literature crowd in at every stop: Gibbon finishing his great work, Byron on the lake, Rousseau, Calvin’s Geneva and its strict civic laws.
