Three Women and a Boat: A BBC Radio 2 Book Club Title

Brought to you by Penguin. A hugely charming, genuinely uplifting story that shows it's never too late for new adventures and unexpected friendship - for fans of HAROLD FRY, DEAR MRS BIRD and THE LIBRARIAN. Meet Eve, who has departed from 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: defiantly independent narrowboat-dweller, suddenly vulnerable as she awaits a life-saving operation. Inexperienced and ill-equipped, Sally and Eve embark upon a journey through the canals of England, guided by the remote and unsympathetic Anastasia. As they glide gently - and not so gently - through the countryside, the eccentricities and challenges of canalboat life draw them inexorably together, and a tender and unforgettable story unfolds. Disarmingly truthful and narrated with a rare, surprising wit, THREE WOMEN AND A BOAT is a journey over the glorious waterways of England and into the unfathomable depths of the human heart. © Anne Youngson 2020 (P) Penguin Audio 2020

Das Versprechen, dich zu finden (Ungekürzt)

Tina und Anders hatten einmal andere Wünsche ans Leben. Jetzt sind sie Anfang sechzig und haben beide gerade jemanden verloren, der ihnen sehr nahestand und der eine Lücke hinterlässt, die zu füllen ihnen unmöglich scheint. Und auch ihre Hoffnungen und Träume haben sie mit den Jahren aus den Augen verloren - das Leben zog vorbei, und dieser eine Moment kam nie. Tina und Anders sind sich noch nie begegnet, doch durch Zufall beginnen sie einen Briefwechsel. Sie teilen Glück und Sorgen, tauschen sich über Familie und Arbeit, Kunst und Natur aus. Durch ihre Freundschaft entwickeln sie bald einen Hunger nach Veränderung, der es ihnen unmöglich macht, wieder in ihre alte Rolle zurückzukehren.
