I have found it a good way to fill all the empty space in this last year, when we weren't able to be sociable and travel, and I am half way through the third book.

I just finished reading THE NARROWBOAT SUMMER and enjoyed it every bit as much as I did your first novel. I like how you leave a lot to the reader's imagination as to how they both end.

But my main source of information and inspiration was my sister, who set off to live on one for several years after she and her husband retired. They cruised round the whole canal network and only went back to living in a house when their health wasn't good enough to carry on. It was hard, some of the time, but on the whole a peaceful, gentle way to live. We could all do with some peace and gentleness in these difficult times.(less)
