Resumen del Editor
"Narrator Helen Lloyd's consistent pace and subtle British inflections enhance this sweet story about seizing the day with friends." (AudioFile magazine)
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.

Historia
In 1889, satirist Jerome K. Jerome fully intended to write a serious travel guide when he and his two best friends embarked on a boating trip up the river Thames to Oxford. But his musings on landmarks and local history were soon hijacked by his own digressive, waggish voice. And so, what began as a peaceful and edifying two-week exploration soon floated upriver into farce - aided, quite naturally, by a portly ration of cheese, some very bad weather, and a dog named Montmorency.

In anticipation of her 38th birthday, Katherine May set out to walk the 630-mile South West Coast Path. She wanted time alone, in nature, to understand why she had stopped coping with everyday life; why motherhood had been so overwhelming and isolating; and why the world felt full of expectations she couldn't meet. She was also reeling from a chance encounter with a voice on the radio that sparked her realisation that she might be autistic.

Historia
For as long as Rae can remember, it's been her and Mum, and their dog, Splinter; a small, deliberately unremarkable family. They have their walks, their cooking routines, their home. Sometimes Mum disappears for a while to clear her head, but Rae is okay with this because Mum always comes back. So, when Rae wakes to Splinter's nose in her face, the back door open, and no Mum, she does as she’s always done and carries on. She tends to the house, goes to school, walks Splinter, and minds her own business - all the while pushing down the truth she isn't ready to face.

Over the course of a single year, our nameless narrator heroically tries to keep her small brood of four chickens alive despite the seemingly endless challenges that caring for another creature entails. From the 40-below nights of a brutal Minnesota winter to a sweltering summer which brings a surprise tornado, she battles predators, bad luck, and the uncertainty of a future that may not look anything like the one she always imagined. A stunning, brilliantly insightful meditation on life and longing that will stand beside such modern classics as H is for Hawk and Gilead.

Pat, faced with a debilitating MS diagnosis, has fallen into his drinking. Anne, his devoutly Catholic wife, is selected as a juror for a highly publicized attempted murder trial, one that raises questions - about God, and about men in power - she has buried her entire life. Together, they try to raise their only son, Daniel.

Historia
Over the course of a single year, our nameless narrator heroically tries to keep her small brood of four chickens alive despite the seemingly endless challenges that caring for another creature entails. From the 40-below nights of a brutal Minnesota winter to a sweltering summer which brings a surprise tornado, she battles predators, bad luck, and the uncertainty of a future that may not look anything like the one she always imagined. A stunning, brilliantly insightful meditation on life and longing that will stand beside such modern classics as H is for Hawk and Gilead.

They rarely speak to each other, but they take notice - watching from the safety of their cabins, peering into the half-lit drizzle of a Scottish summer day, making judgments from what little they know of their temporary neighbors. On the longest day of the year, the hours pass nearly imperceptibly as twelve people go from being strangers to bystanders to allies, their attention forced into action as tragedy sneaks into their lives.

Loosely inspired by a true story, this tender portrait of marriage asks: What do you do when the person you love has to change? It starts with a question, a simple favor asked by a wife of her husband while both are painting in their studio, setting off a transformation neither can anticipate. Uniting fact and fiction into an original romantic vision, The Danish Girl eloquently portrays the unique intimacy that defines every marriage and the remarkable story of Lili Elbe, a pioneer in transgender history.

Beautifully produced and read
As a female boater with a “slow go” trawler, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This book for me was about women finding themselves while exploring new challenges and places. Highly recommend!

Excellent story of second chances
This sweet rambling story made me smile throughout. Adventure, new settings and situations, plus fascinating people over a broad spectrum of life stories. Never a dull moment even if it is in a slow moving boat along a map work of canals in rural England.
I loved each character along this journey and was eager to see how all these new things for each of them would turn out. It more than met my hopeful expectations.
A crazy old woman, owner and sole captain of the narrow boat #1 has a health issue, but has to take the boat for inspection to get it relicensed. Two middle aged women looking for change to happen in their lives to come together by the boat just when a decision must be made by the captain.
After quick instructions on how to operate it, they agree to take the boat 6-weeks away through a maze of canals to get it fixed while the owner goes to hospital for surgery.
The story is mostly theirs and their experiences and people they meet on the long lazy but physically active trip. At the end a multiple of decisions must be made of where each will go next.
Very satisfying. And there's a dog too, a rascally one.

A Pleasant Journey
Like the author’s other book, Meet me at the Museum, this novel is about the journey rather than the destination. If you’re in the mood for a lyrical story with characters in whose company you enjoy spending time, this is that kind of book. Superbly performed.

Feel good and a good story, too
The Narrowboat Summer is a treat for those of us old enough to understand what we have learned about life and open to understanding what we have yet to learn. The setting is wonderful - I have traveled on English narrowboats myself - the characters well drawn, it is well paced, and offers an evolving plot that keeps one intrigued. 2 middle aged women, strangers, & fresh from momentous life changes, spontaneously take on a lengthy narrowboat trip to help it's owner, also a stranger and facing unwanted life changes. They review life, grow, change, retreat, endure ... and rediscover themselves in their shared and individual journeys. Loved it.

An original story!
This story was something completely different and the characters became real for me. It’s a story about life changes that are relatable. I throughly enjoyed the book and the narration was great.

Audible reports that I have downloaded more than 1000 books, and this one is one of my favorites. It is original and beautifully written. The narration was perfect. I truly did not want it to end.

Hallmark movie in book form.
Not my cup of tea! I found the story to be quite predictable and a bit boring. Kept waiting for something exciting to happen. I appreciated the premise of ladies taking control of their futures and embracing change…but while their new lives involved friendship and caring…they still lacked true adventure and excitement. To each his own!
