A River Runs Through It and Other Stories

“In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly-fishing—there isn't anything in it that doesn't depend on what comes before it for its meaning.”

A River Runs Through It is the semi-autobiographical story of Norman Maclean and his relationship to his brother, Paul. The story is told through the mutual passion for fly-fishing, a passion also shared with the two men's father. It's a brilliant story of the complexities of relationships, set in the raw world of western Montana.
