Too much fishing for me...

Absolutely spell-binding! I don't have words for how good it is.
Read it at once!
Ok. It's set in early twentieth century Montana, mountains, rivers and a small town.
Two novellas and a short story. All three are autobiographical coming of age stories. We really do write best about what we know and maybe I especially liked it because my father taught me fly fishing when I was quite young.
This book really went over my head. I was confused a lot of them time because the writing is so vague. I kept getting confused and taken out of the story going "Wait, when did they get out of the car? When did that person leave the room, I thought they were still there? Did they leave the car at the cabin, or did someone drop them off?" I was so confused.
Also, reading it in 2020 I think there's social expectations that are implied that I didn't pick up on or understand. I respect & appreciate everything I learned about fly fishing. Like most sports, they are a lot more complex than watching on TV. The descriptions of everything put me to sleep. I really struggled to read this because the writing didn't pull me in; I kept getting distracted. This book is probably critically good. Everyone I know really liked it. I think it's just not my personal taste.
