Book Description
===================
From the author of Meet Me at the Museum, a charming novel of second
chances, about three women, one dog, and the narrowboat that brings
them together.
Eve expected Sally to come festooned with suitcases and overnight bags
packed with everything she owned, but she was wrong. She arrived on
foot, with a rucksack and a carrier bag. “I just walked away,” she
said, climbing on to the boat. Eve knew what she meant.
Meet Eve, who has left her thirty-year career to become a Free Spirit;
Sally, who has waved goodbye to her indifferent husband and two grown-
up children; and Anastasia, a defiantly independent narrowboat-
dweller, who is suddenly landlocked and vulnerable.
Before they quite know what they’ve done, Sally and Eve agree to drive
Anastasia’s narrowboat on a journey through the canals of England, as
she awaits a life-saving operation. As they glide gently – and not so
gently – through the countryside, the eccentricities and challenges of
narrowboat life draw them inexorably together, and a tender and
unforgettable story unfolds. At summer’s end, all three women must
decide whether to return to the lives they left behind, or forge a new
path forward.
Candid, hilarious, and uplifting, Anne Youngson’s The Narrowboat
Summer is a celebration of the power of friendship and new experiences
to change one’s life, at any age.
