| Summary |
"A universal story about the power of place to shape families: In the spirit of his father's beloved 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"-- Provided by publisher. |
|
Montana's majestic Blackfoot River was the setting for Norman Maclean classic novella, A River Runs through It. His son, John N. Maclean, returns annually to the simple family cabin that his grandfather built by hand, still in search of the trout of a lifetime. Here he chronicles a family who claimed a river, from one generation to the next, and tells how this family came of age in the 20th century. As they scattered across the country, faced tragedy and success, the family was always drawn back to the waters that bound them together. -- adapted from jacket |
