Three Women and a Boat

<p><strong>Tender and humorous novel of second chances and life-changing new friendship for fans of Rachel Joyce, Clare Chambers and Barbara Pym.</strong><br /><br />Meet <strong>Eve</strong>, who has departed from her thirty-year career to become a Free Spirit; <strong>Sally</strong>, who has waved goodbye to her indifferent husband and two grown-up children; and <strong>Anastasia</strong>, a defiantly independent narrowboat-dweller, suddenly vulnerable as she awaits a life-saving operation.<br /><br />Inexperienced and ill-equipped, Sally and Eve embark upon a journey through the canals of England, guided by the remote and unsympathetic Anastasia. As they glide gently - and not so gently - through the countryside, the eccentricities and challenges of canalboat life draw them inexorably together, and a tender and unforgettable story unfolds. <br /><br /><strong>Disarmingly truthful and narrated with a rare wit, THREE WOMEN AND A BOAT is a journey over the glorious waterways of England and into the unfathomable depths of the human heart by an inspirational new talent now in her seventies.</strong></p>
