For Norman Maclean, his brother Paul, and their Presbyterian minister father, Summer of 1937 revolves around family and flyfishing. Their summer together is about grace, artistry, help offered and help refused. A River Runs Through It tells a story of family love.
The Academy Award-Winning movie version of this book starring Brad Pitt and Tom Skerritt is credited (or discredited) with starting the current fly fishing boom.
A three-cassette audio tape version of the book is available. The reader is Ivan Doig, and the length is four hours long. I have the movie, have the book and also have the audio tape. They all are wonderful.
