Anmeldelser
«This quirky, intriguing and inspirational memoir is the sort of book you could admire and enjoy even if you had not the slightest interest in fishing.»
«A tale of tails, fishy and fabulous, and in aid of an important cause, full of humour full of heart.»
«In his new book, each milestone, struggle and success is portrayed against a backdrop of fishing. May writes honestly and humorously of days by the river transporting him to "another world".»
«An inspiring book»
«Fishing is the balm to all troubles, frequently on the Mottisfont beat of his beloved River Test, but also as far afield as Patagonia and Russia. There cannot be many anglers for whom the diagnosis of a killer disease results in a dramatic increase in catches, but Mick May is one of them.»
«We highly recommend you read this inspiring book»
«The two stories – those of his love of fishing and that of his ordeal against cancer – are masterfully intervoven into a compelling story of joy, despair, and release.»
