Mark Hume is an award-winning environmental journalist and author of four books, including the acclaimed River of the Angry Moon. He was formerly a national correspondent and columnist with the Globe and Mail, BC bureau chief for the National Post, and a senior correspondent with the Vancouver Sun. Based in Vancouver, he has fly fished in British Columbia for fifty years.
An immensely profound look at how fly fishing has been 'a way of navigating life'-a joyous celebration of how it has mingled with the seasons, the rivers, and the author's close family. I loved Reading the Water. -Nick Lyons, author of Spring Creek This is glorious... truly brilliant. -Roy MacGregor, award-winning journalist and author of A Life in the Bush Reading this book I found myself feeling more hopeful ... Not just about the environment, but importantly, about men as fathers. -Sandy Shreve, author of Suddenly So Much and Waiting for the Albatross I have never gone fishing and probably never will. That matters not one bit when it comes to this memoir; I was hooked. It is a lyrical contemplation of life-beautifully written, smartly observed. It was like I was out there in nature with Mark and his family; I could almost feel the mountain air, the river water, as I drank in every word. -Marsha Lederman, Western arts correspondent for the Globe and Mail
