Summary
The chance of a new life opens up when she befriends Joel Batholomew, who works on the canal. Aboard his narrowboat, she finds herself falling in love with her new life. Then Joel's feelings for Maryann begin to change, awakening all the old nightmares that she had long thought buried. The Narrowboat Girl is warm-hearted storytelling at its very best, and a testament to the overwhelming power of true love and its ability to overcome suffering.

Speechless
Finished in 2 days, what a great story, so sad but realistic for those times of hardship.
The performance was brilliant, even enjoyed the accents.

A lovely story
I'm so glad that Annie Aldington was reading this book because her voice is wonderful. Annie Murray is a wonderful story writer & she does bring the whole story to life.

Not to be missed
This story can sometimes be hard to listen to bringing home the relaity of child abuse and how back then it was even harder to address but the story had its happy points as well. As usual Annie Adlington gave a fantastic performance.

shame
I thought the story was ok however it kept skipping bits all the way though. what with that and dare I say it about Annie Aldington who is my absolute favourite narrator her voice wasn't as good as normal and her tongue sounded as though it was clicking all the way though. very particular.
