  From the New York Times bestselling author of Saban and Lords of the Fly comes an exquisite collection of angling stories that span the twenty-first century.The thirty-one pieces in Rivers Always Reach the Sea—essays, as well as profiles of some of the biggest names in angling, including Lefty Kreh and Andy Mill—take the listener from the rainforests of Chile to the windswept tundra of Russia, from the remote mangrove-choked basins of Florida's Everglades to the congested littoral zone of New York City, and to many places in between.The quarry includes trout, Atlantic salmon, tarpon, bonefish, and striped bass, but the real quest is for something else entirely. Told in a voice described by the novelist, Carl Hiaasen, as "funny, wistful, and wonderful," the stories in Rivers Always Reach the Sea keep the focus on the "why" of the sport of fly fishing, and not the "how."

  The Twenty - One Woman’s Trek...

  Marianne Bohr and her husband, about to turn sixty, are restless for adventure. They decide on an extended, desolate trek across the French island of Corsica—the GR20, Europe’s toughest long-distance footpath—to challenge what it means to grow old. Part travelogue, part buddy story, part memoir, The Twenty is a journey across a rugged island of stunning beauty little known outside Europe. 
  From a chubby, non-athletic child, Bohr grew into a fit, athletic person with an “I’ll show them” attitude. But hiking The Twenty forces her to transform a lifetime of hard-won achievements into acceptance of her body and its limitations. The difficult journey across a remote island provides the crucible for exploring what it means to be an aging woman in a youth-focused culture, a physically fit person whose limitations are getting the best of her, and the partner of a husband who is growing old with her. More than a hiking tale, The Twenty is a moving story infused with humor about hiking, aging, accepting life’s finite journey, and the intimacy of a long-term marriage—set against the breathtaking beauty of Corsica’s rugged countryside.
