Blood Knots is a brilliant and dramatic memoir of an angler 's
life. It places Jennings in the front rank of natural history
writers. As a child in the 1960s, he was fascinated by the rivers
and lakes around his home. Beneath their surfaces waited alien and
mysterious worlds. With library books as his guide, he applied
himself to the task of learning to fish. His progress was slow, and
for years, he caught nothing. But then a series of teachers
presented themselves, including an inspirational young intelligence
officer, from whom he learned stealth, deception, and the art of
dry-fly fishing. So began an enlightening but often dark-shadowed
journey of discovery.
It would lead to bright streams and wild country, but would end
with his mentor 's capture, torture, and execution by the IRA.
Blood Knots is about angling, about great fish caught and lost, but
it is also about friendship, honor, and coming of age. As an adult,
Jennings has sought out lost and secretive waterways, probing
waters at dead of night in search of giant pike. The quest, as
always, is for more than the living quarry. For only by searching
far beneath the surface, he suggests in this most moving and
thought-provoking of memoirs, can you connect with your own deep
history. Jennings offers here a striking, elegiac narrative for
lovers of unique memoirs and the finest fly-fishing literature.
She is the perfect assassin. A Russian orphan, saved from the death
