Overview
AS FEATURED ON ITV'S THIS MORNING, BBC RADIO 4 WOMAN'S HOUR AND BBC RADIO 2 WITH JEREMY VINE 'Marina's writing is as exquisite as her casting.' - PAUL WHITEHOUSE 'Unique and very enjoyable.' - TRISTAN GOOLEY, author of How to Read a Tree 'Meditative and revelatory' - DAILY MAIL ___________ An inspiring true story about the healing power of water from one of the world's best known female anglers In her early twenties, drifting and directionless, Marina Gibson fled the city for the countryside, and picked up a fishing rod for the first time in years. She was returning to a childhood pursuit and a passion passed on by her mother. Fishing overtook Marina's life as she grew enraptured by the quiet magic of angling. Whiling away hours by a Highland river or a local chalk stream, with only the ritual of casting and the music of the water for company, Marina found an escape from a failing marriage and a connection to a tradition of female anglers stretching back generations. Alongside the twists and turns of her own story, Marina traces the epic migratory journey of the Atlantic salmon and its fight for survival against the odds. Cast Catch Release is a love letter to the water, and what it means to find peace and purpose in the great outdoors.
