Home Waters: A Chronicle of Family and a River by John N. Maclean

by Bonnie Tsui

A book that will resonate with everyone who feels deeply rooted to a place, Home Waters chronicles a family who claimed a river, from one generation to the next, of how this family came of age in the 20th century and later as they scattered across the country, faced tragedy and success, yet were always drawn back to the waters that bound them together. Here are the true stories behind the beloved characters fictionalized in A River Runs Through It.

Pastoral Song : A Farmer's Journey by James Rebanks

available in August, hardcover, Custom House

Pastoral Song is the story of an inheritance: one that affects us all. It tells of how rural landscapes around the world were brought close to collapse, and the age-old rhythms of work, weather, community and wild things were lost. And yet this elegy from the northern fells is also a song of hope: of how, guided by the past, one farmer began to salvage a tiny corner of England that was now his, doing his best to restore the life that had vanished and to leave a legacy for the future.

available now, paperback, Algonquin
