The River Why is by David James Duncan. A beautifully written realistic fiction novel centered around fly fishing, nature, and family. Gus Orivston leaves his fishing-crazed family and takes a cabin in the Pacific Northwest to fish and, unbeknownst to him, find himself. The novel is laugh-out-loud funny in places and poignantly beautiful in others. The descriptions of nature are magnificently written and the sections on one man's search for happiness profound. The characters are real and really funny. A must read for fisherman and nature lovers, and anyone who wants to feel in touch with other people and nature.
Ratings: Adult - 8 out of 10.
