The Narrowboat Summer by Anne Youngson, 319 pages
When walking alongside a canal in England, recently fired executive Eve meets recently separated Sally and, on a whim, decide to take over the transport of recently diagnosed Anastasia's narrowboat, which needs to be 150 miles away down the canal a few weeks time. Somehow, this all works for them, and as Anastasia gets the help she needs at the hospital, Eve and Sally learn about who they really are.
I'll be honest: this book didn't really do it for me. The characters were kind of boring (aside from Noah, Anastasia's boisterous dog, that is) and the plot just kind of drifted along. I will say, however, that this has definitely piqued my interest in floating the canals of England.
