A story about the power of place to shape families: in the spirit of his father's classic A River Runs Through It , comes John N. Maclean's meditation on fly fishing and life along Montana's Blackfoot River, where four generations of Macleans have fished, bonded, and drawn timeless lessons from its storied waters.
What The Reviewers Say
To me, Norman Maclean’s book, more poetry than narrative, is a triumph of American literature.
In this hybrid memoir, ecological history, and love letter to the meditative wonders of fishing, Maclean charts his Scottish ancestors’ arrival in Montana, his minister grandfather’s building of the still-standing lake cabin, and the tragic death of his charismatic uncle Paul, whose brief life was so poignantly memorialized by John’s father.
A lyrical love letter to Montana’s Blackfoot River, fishing, and his storied family in this captivating memoir.
A moving memoir of a family’s love affair with the Blackfoot River in Montana.
