Více o knize
The narrative intertwines Michael Burke's personal journey with the historical legacy of his distant relative, Sid Barrington, a renowned swiftwater pilot. As Burke navigates the remote rivers of British Columbia in 1991, he grapples with his impending role as a husband and father while reflecting on the passage of time and the nature of rivers. The prose artfully connects the thrill of river running with deeper themes of heritage and the elusive nature of the past, distinguishing it from typical river-running literature focused on the lower forty-eight states.
