Anne Youngson wrote The Narrowboat Summer. This is a lovely tale set in current time in England. An incident one Thursday morning changes the lives of three women in ways they could not expect. Sally is walking home after getting her hair cut. Eve is walking home after getting fired at work. Both women are walking along a towpath along side a canal in the outskirts of London when they hear a noise that startles them. They are not sure if it is a human cry for help but it coming from a narrowboat moored at the towpath. They board the boat and look inside to see a dog howling like a demon. Sally and Eve meet the elderly boat owner, Anastasia, and the three of them come up with a plan to help each other out. This Sally and Eve learning how to navigate a narrowboat and delivering it after a six week journey to be repaired. Along their journey Sally and Eve learn more about themselves and each other. They also meet a host of other people living on narrowboats. This was an enjoyable story about women living the dream, boating, cooking, going through locks, and making new friends.
