The Narrowboat Summer

This book is a steady read full of interesting characters, new beginnings, friendships and perspectives. Two women (Eve and Sally) find themselves at an inflection point in their lives, and come across a third woman (Anastasia) who needs their help. They sign on to spend a few months living on Anastasia's narrowboat and driving it through the locks and canals to a shop some km away to be refurbished. Along the way Eve and Sally have time to reflect on their own lives to this point and be honest with themselves about what they want and what might need to change. They meet many people in the narrowboat community who expand their perspectives and enrich their experience. I enjoyed reading this - many thanks to Bookbrowse and #Netgalley for the complimentary ebook.
