"Narrator Helen Lloyd's consistent pace and subtle British inflections enhance this sweet story about seizing the day with friends." (AudioFile magazine)
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.

I loved each character along this journey and was eager to see how all these new things for each of them would turn out. It more than met my hopeful expectations.
A crazy old woman, owner and sole captain of the narrow boat #1 has a health issue, but has to take the boat for inspection to get it relicensed. Two middle aged women looking for change to happen in their lives to come together by the boat just when a decision must be made by the captain.
After quick instructions on how to operate it, they agree to take the boat 6-weeks away through a maze of canals to get it fixed while the owner goes to hospital for surgery.
The story is mostly theirs and their experiences and people they meet on the long lazy but physically active trip. At the end a multiple of decisions must be made of where each will go next.
Very satisfying. And there's a dog too, a rascally one.
Excellent story of second chances
