Yes, well, reading my last, I was a little surprised I'd written it - but glad to say I still agree with it !
So, having put the literary world to rights, here's an offering that is a delightful suprise of a read, ostensibly a memoir of a lad growing up, and his continual struggles to learn to catch fish. But it is so much more, including an element of darkness intruding, and his relationships with his father and another "mentor" key components.
"Blood Knots" by Luke Jennings. Pub. 2006. Available as ebook ePub (certainly Smiths & W/stones in UK, Amazon for Kindle).
My wife, who views fishing and all its works (apart from the actual eating bit) in much the same manner as dental work without anasthetic, and is wary of most "pastoral sounding" writings, was absolutely captivated by it, and in fact introduced me to it's charms.
(Intersetingly, my son and I learned to fly-fish together a few years ago, and it awoke some interesting memories, all pleasant .......I think.
