Home Waters: A Chronicle of Family and a River di John N Maclean
Some interesting insights on the book "A River Run's Through It" by the son's author.
John N. Maclean is the go to author for writing about wildfires in which firefighters have lost their lives. Its a family tradition, as his father, Norman, wrote the best selling Young Men and Fire. John has written a number of books in this genre, with River of Fire being his latest. Not his best, as I would recommend Fire on the Mountain instead. River of Fire is best for wildland fire professionals.
"Home Waters" is a wonderful story about fly fishing, family and life. This novel brought back wonderful memories of my own childhood: long car rides, fishing and spending time with family. The writing style is easy to read. Highly recommend!
Written by Norman Mclean's son (A River Runs Through It), the book is a warm reflection on his father's legacy, the mystery of his uncle, Paul's, death, and the impact of the family's mountain cabin, a legacy of fly fishing, and the impact of his father's beloved book and the resulting movie.
