520    "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"--|cProvided by publisher.
