‘An absolute delight… [Andrew Douglas-Home] is a born
writer… A River Runs Through Me is unlike any other
fishing book I know.’ TOM FORT An evocative account of one
man’s life spent fishing on arguably the world’s best salmon
river: a story of family, tradition and the Scottish countryside.
Against the shifting moods and seasons of Scotland’s River
Tweed, A River Runs Through Me tells the story of a
lifelong relationship with one of its most iconic denizens: the
Atlantic salmon. Through vivid vignettes and family memories,
Andrew Douglas-Home spins a homely yet dryly witty narrative,
placing this unique fish and river at its heart. Woven into the
decades, amid youthful adventure and memorable catches, are stories
too of one of Scotland’s oldest families – tales of politics,
friendship and stewardship of the natural world. This poignant and
thoughtful book looks back at age-old practices and traditions but
also forward to what we must do to secure the future of the
Atlantic salmon and their rivers. It is the perfect companion for
any angling enthusiast. ‘Andrew Douglas-Home and his family are
inseparably identified with Tweed, perhaps the most glorious river
in Britain, in which its salmon contribute mightily to its beauty.
No one is better qualified than the author to write about fishing,
wildlife and the wondrous flow of sparkling water across the
Borders.’ SIR MAX HASTINGS
