A River Runs Through It
by Norman MacLeanMay 12, 2010
This autobiographical novel by Norman MacLean chronicles two brothers coming of age in early 20th-century Missoula, Montana, under the stern tutelage of their minister father. He instills in them a love of fly fishing, which for one brother, becomes a lifelong passion even as he sets out to become a newspaperman and struggles with his addiction to gambling. The other brother dreams of exploring the world outside of Missoula when he falls in love with a local girl. Soon one brother must discover the true meaning of family loyalty when the other finds himself in deeper trouble than ever before.
