Wetherell, author of \u003ci\u003eOne River More\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Grover came to angling late and seems hell-bent on making up for lost time. But \u003ci\u003eNorthern Waters\u003c\/i\u003e is more than just a fishing memoir. It's the chronicle of a woman profoundly and passionately engaged in the natural world. With intelligence, clarity, and considerable literary skill, Grover reminds us that the world is richer than we supposed, more complex, more fertile, more surprising--and that it's time we rolled up our sleeves and got down to the messy business of being alive.\"--Jerry Dennis, author of \u003ci\u003eThe River Home\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eNorthern Waters\u003c\/i\u003e is my favorite kind of fishing book: part memoir, part history, and all engaging commentary on what makes fishermen the way we are. It is also a splendid celebration of the north woods and their often imperiled magic.\"--Paul Schullery, author of \u003ci\u003eRoyal Coachman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Many of us have, as Jan Zita Grover writes, submitted ourselves 'to the tutelage of waters.' But few pupils have proved so adept.
