Illuminated by Water by Malachy Tallack

informative reflective relaxing medium-paced

4.25

Part nature writing, part memoir and travelogue, Tallack discusses his lifelong love of fly fishing and the places it has taken him. His writing is so descriptive and really immerses you in the settings. Did I come out of this with an urge to take up angling? No. But the audiobook reminded me a lot of those podcasts that are designed to put you to sleep: someone telling a story that's meant to be relaxing, and not necessarily intended to spark a deeper interest. I would recommend this to anyone who's looking for a good nature memoir, and definitely to anyone with an interest in fishing.
