Description
The Narrowboat Summer by Anne Youngson is a heartening story about striking out in a new direction at any age. It's also a soothing read, especially welcome in anxious times.
Three women, one dog, and a narrowboat bring them together in this charming novel of second chances. Eve has left her career to become a Free Spirit, while Sally has waved goodbye to her husband and grown-up children. Anastasia, a defiantly independent narrowboat-dweller, is suddenly landlocked and vulnerable.
As they journey through the canals of England, the eccentricities and challenges of narrowboat life draw them together, leading to a tender and unforgettable story that unfolds as they approach summer's end. Will they return to their old lives or forge a new path forward?
