About This Book

A young boy raised beside a swollen river relies on deep, practical knowledge of currents, fishing and seasonal life to support his mother and aunt and to seize a sudden chance to ferry an important visitor across floodwaters when the usual crossing has been carried away; episodes of hunting, rivercraft and spring renewal are interwoven with village bustle, wildlife detail and the boy’s quiet coming-of-age as skill and resourcefulness meet nature’s forces.
