“BEAUTIFUL. ... A lyrical companion to his father’s classic, A River Runs through It, chronicling their family’s history and bond with Montana’s Blackfoot River. ... Spectacularly vivid.” —Washington PostA New York Times "New & Noteworthy" SelectionA "poetic" and "captivating" (Publishers Weekly) memoir about the power of place to shape generations, Home Waters is John N. Maclean's remarkable memoir of his family's century-long love affair with Montana's majestic Blackfoot River, the setting for his father's classic novella, A River Runs through It. Maclean returns annually to the simple family cabin that his grandfather built by hand, still in search of the trout of a lifetime. When he hooks it at last, decades of longing promise to be fulfilled, inspiring John, reporter and author, to finally write the story he was born to tell. A book that will resonate with everyone who feels deeply rooted to a landscape, Home Waters is chronicle of a family who claimed a river, from one generation to the next, of how this family came of age in the 20th century and later as they scattered across the country, faced tragedy and success, yet were always drawn back to the waters that bound them together. Here are the true stories behind the beloved characters fictionalized in A River Runs through It, including the Reverend Maclean, the patriarch who introduced the family to fishing; Norman, who balanced a life divided between literature and the tug of the rugged West; and tragic yet luminous Paul (played by Brad Pitt in Robert Redford’s film adaptation), whose mysterious death has haunted the family and led John to investigate his uncle’s murder and reveal new details in these pages.A universal story about nature, family, and the art of fly fishing, Maclean’s memoir beautifully portrays the inextricable ways our personal histories are linked to the places we come from—our home waters. Featuring twelve wood engravings by Wesley W. Bates and a map of the Blackfoot River region.

John Maclean gave us a gift with Home Waters: A Chronicle of Family and a River, and I am eternally grateful. Holden Caulfield in Catcher in the Rye tells us, “What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it.”Maclean’s book fills in so many of the blanks from his father’s classic work without sounding as if he were capitalizing on a trend. He adds the details we wish we knew before without taking away the romantic quality of A River Runs Through It. While Norman Maclean’s work is, in my opinion, literary perfection, his son’s book does not detract from that perfection by filling in the details Norman felt were able to be omitted. Instead, John is rewarding us with sharing some family secrets we’ve been wondering about.John Maclean is an accomplished writer of great purpose. I appreciate each of his books on wildland fires, so this book wasn’t necessarily something he had to do. However, now older than his father when A River Runs Through It was first released, I believe he too wanted to feel the sense of completion that came from telling the story.Holden Caulfield’s sentiment certainly rang true for me with Norman Maclean’s novella, and as a Montanan, a writer, and a fly fisherman who picked up a rod long before his story graced the silver screen, I looked for any background information available on Maclean’s work. As a senior at the University of Montana I wrote a lengthy paper on the novel and its author—going so far as to research specific areas of the Blackfoot River, Paul’s death, and Missoula of bygone days.As a high school American Literature teacher and outdoorsman in Montana, I’ve enjoyed teaching Norman Maclean’s writing to students and happy to add my own research into the discussion. I love it when a student sends pictures of fishing the Blackfoot or when a particular passage hits later in life. I definitely plan to use this book in class, and have already ordered THREE additional copies of this book for friends and family.Don’t expect this to be The Further Adventures of Norman and Paul Maclean; this book is so much more. It’s what you would talk about with John Maclean if you could call him up at any time—as Holden Caulfield tells us.I appreciate this book so much, and I feel grateful to John Maclean for the gift. He’s a good man, and he has given a treasure.
