The Narrowboat Girl by Annie Murray is the story of a young woman's
search for freedom and happiness. Young Maryann Nelson is
devastated at the loss of her beloved father. But worse is to come
when her mother, Flo, sees an opportunity to better herself and her
family in a marriage to the local undertaker, Norman Griffin.
Though on the surface a caring family man, Norman is not at all
what he seems, as Maryann and her sister Sal soon discover. Unable
to turn to their unsympathetic mother for support, the girls are
left alone with their harrowing secret. But for Sal it is too much
to bear . . . The chance of a new life opens up for Maryann when
she befriends Joel Bartholomew. Aboard his narrowboat, the Esther
Jane, she finds herself falling in love with life on the canal as
she is swept away from Birmingham and all her worries. Until Joel's
feelings for Maryann begin to change, awakening all the old
nightmares that she had thought were long buried, and in panic and
confusion she takes flight . . . The Narrowboat Girl is followed by
sequel, Water Gypsies.
