The story of a man’s introspective angling holiday as he confronts his own mortality. Plenty of fishing narratives with cancer-related details interjected along the way in a very matter-of-fact manner. No, it’s not the diary of a pity party; it’s thought-provoking, sometimes wistful, and often funny. You can’t help but be drawn into this touching story.
The author writes: “I’m thankful that fishing gives you time to think, time to be in your own head, and time to reminisce and relive your past.” It sounds like a perfect antidote for whatever problems you may be dealing with. Fish on, Stephenson--I’m looking forward to your next book.
