Editorial reviews

Winner of the Governor General’s Award for Non-Fiction, Lines on the Water takes its listeners on a peaceful tour of David Adams Richards lifetime of memories and love for the legendary Canadian Miramichi system. Bob Brewster's gentle, quietly confident tone suits Richards' meandering anecdotes, winding patiently from childhood wonder and adventure to a modest wisdom kept in perspective by the grand scope of his beloved river.

Equally a celebration of the joys of fishing and those of life, Richards' journey teems with insights, characters, failures and triumphs familiar not only to his fellow fisherman but fans of memoirs alike.
