From the arrestingtitle Blood Knots to the final word, Luke Jennings commands our awe andadmiration with this unusually fine, wholly engaging memoir of that lifeaffirming trinity fathers, friendship, and fishing. --Tom Brokaw
LukeJennings has brilliantly described the full range of English angling, fromdrifting dry flies on the chalk streams of Sussex to chasing giant pike in thedark industrial waters of London. But this distinctive memoir is far more thana fishing book. In acuteness of observation and literary craft, this isautobiographical writing of the very highest order and a joy to read. --Howell Raines
Luke Jennings' Blood Knots is a wondrous book. As a lifetime obsessive reader of angling literature I know whereof I speak. As an occasional writer of it I am humbled indeed. In modern times Jennings is in the stratosphere of Roderick Haig-Brown and Tom McGuane's rarified The Longest Silence. The prose is graceful and the treatment of material utterly fresh. I couldn't recommend it more highly. --Jim Harrison
This is literature with that rare combinationof the poetic and visceral. I can smell the air, the water. Beautiful. Sometrue set-the-book-down, gaze-out-your-window...ponder-that-last-beautiful-paragraph-you-just-read moments. --Michael Keaton, actor
Blood Knots is one of those smallbut enthralling surprises that landsevery now and then on awriter's desk. Like all great fishing books, it can be embraced with unabasheddelight by readers who wouldn't know a trout from a truffle. . . . Special andmagnetic. --Carl Hiassen, author of Tourist Season
