People of the Book

“My family, which was British and Scotch and reserved in the expression of its emotions, especially in any emotions about loving, didn’t talk about how much we loved each other. It would have been unthinkable. But fishing was the one place where we could say how much we admired one another.”
— Norman Maclean, From an Interview in 1984
