A memoir and a love affair with nature, especially with lakes and rivers.

I thought it would be interesting when I picked it up, but the book exceeded my expectation. I love this book, though I cannot say what I love about it. Many things the author describes, especially of him growing up and summering in the lakes, resonate with me deeply and remind me of my own childhood, even though our experiences are quite different. I am not an outdoorsy person, but reading the author's experience makes me yearn to go camping.

Thank you for this book, the bookcrossing labels and the cute fish! :)

I live by the ocean since about 10 years now, but I was born and grew up in Paris (France), so my childhood was very different from what the author explains of his! ;-)
It was interesting to learn about the life in Shield Country.
