I have no idea really but there is supposed to be a river in South America which is supposed to be the border between
Central (belongs to North) America and South America. I definitely don't know who the author is.
As for the river I guess is that there is a river named Rio Grande and that it, is the said border river between North and South America....Funny how ev'rything was roses when we held on to the guns...

I would guess the countries are Russia and Ukraine, which would be the Dnieper river, still wracking my brain to see if I can recall a novel with Dnieper in the title though.

"was" and "continents".. And Tavarich Anfield is close but no cigar...wrong river.
Och det är inte Slussen
Rio Grande is border for 2 countries part if the way but Mexico is in North America.
Besides what's the TITLE of the book with the name of this river in the title.

There is the River Don that flows into the Sea of Azov at the head of the Black Sea through Rostov, is there a novel with this in the title?
