Description
A lyrical memoir about fishing, love and loss from the UK's best-known female angler
'A very revealing book about life, salmon and angling. Marina's writing is as exquisite as her casting. I hate her.'
'A unique and very enjoyable story, filled with simple joys and more complex challenges.'
'An engaging, forthright and impressive debut - this highly personal memoir will appeal to anyone who loves what fishing can bring to life. As fluent and assured as one of the writer's Spey casts'
'Gibson compares the harrowing natural history of the Atlantic salmon to her own restless, sometimes reckless life and illustrates that, although it really is possible to find serenity and purpose through fly-fishing, getting there can be a long, strange trip.'
'Really beautiful and deeply honest. As beautifully drawn as a dry fly landing delicately onto a river's surface. Cast, Catch, Release is far more than the fishing stories of one of Britain's most iconic anglers - it's about love, loss, and above all, the enduring hope that we all must carry with us as people, whether we cast for a fish or not.'
'An engaging, endearing, deeply felt book. A moving portrait of the end of a marriage and an absorbing account of the Atlantic salmon, one of the world's great creatures.'
'A well-wrought story of love, self-love, and fly fishing. Marina Gibson's book illuminates the healing power of practicing something complicated while immersed, literally, in the natural world. A book for lovers of memoir and anyone who thrills to the catch.'
