About this product

Product Information

As a child in the 1960s, Luke Jennings was fascinated by the rivers and lakes around his Sussex home. Beneath their surfaces, it seemed to him, waited alien and mysterious worlds. With library books as his guide, he applied himself to the task of learning to fish. His progress was slow, and for years he caught nothing. But then a series of teachers presented themselves, including an inspirational young intelligence officer, from whom he learnt stealth, deception and the art of the dry fly. So began an enlightening but often dark-shadowed journey of discovery. It would lead to bright streams and wild country, but would end with his mentor's capture, torture and execution by the IRA. Blood Knots is about angling, about great fish caught and lost, but it is also about friendship, honour and coming of age. As an adult Jennings has sought out lost and secretive waterways, probing waters 'as deep as England' at dead of night in search of giant pike. The quest, as always, is for more than the living quarry. For only by searching far beneath the surface, Jennings suggests in this most moving and thought-provoking of memoirs, can you connect with your own deep history?

    • A Brilliant Memoir

      This is an angling memoir by Luke Jennings who, part from fishing is the Dance Critic of 'The Observer'newspaper. It describes his upbringing and how he first fell in love with angling. This enthusiasm was greatly encouraged by his early friendship with a very serious angler and falconer, Robert Nairac (later GC), who was later (1977) abducted, tortured and murdered by the PIRA in Northern Ireland. Other importantb mentors were his father, another brave soldier and the kind monks of Ampleforth, where both Nairac and jennings were educated. Both are/were serious, believing Catholics. The book is beautifully written, with many asides on history, mysticism, natural history, music: it is not just for anglers and people who are into field sports. If I could write half as well as Luke Jennings, ...

    • Striking title, grabs your attention, and with more knots than fishing.

      Simply a wonderful compelling book and has taken me back to childhood fishing dreams, success and failure.
