520    "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"--|cProvided by publisher.
