She arrived on foot, with a rucksack and a carrier bag. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e“I just walked away,” she said, climbing on to the boat. Eve knew what she meant.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeet 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCandid, hilarious, and uplifting, Anne Youngson's \u003ci\u003eThe Narrowboat Summer\u003c\/i\u003e is a celebration of the power of friendship and new experiences to change one’s life, at any age. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49367543939376,"sku":"BDdx8i","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [40]","offer_id":49367543972144,"sku":"40dx8i","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/128269-dx8i-Square.jpg?v=1734594091","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-dx8i","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
