About the Book

Having had a long career in nursing and cared for a family and step family, recently widowed and lonely, Alice had withdrawn to hide away in a sleepy Norfolk seaside village. However, hurtling towards 50, she was itching for adventure and when a charismatic man bounded into her world she rushed headlong into a new life with him. A woman, a narrowboat, a grumpy cat and a new relationship - what could possibly go wrong? In Reflections from a Narrowboat, Alice White muses on events extracted from the blogs she wrote while on her adventure. These memoirs offer a sometimes funny, sometimes moving and always interesting insight into the impressive strength of a woman when negotiating some of the challenges of narrowboating, nature, life and relationships.

Review :
'If you've ever wondered what life on a riverboat was like, then this is the read for you! Alice invites you into her world onboard. With wit and humour, she shares the challenges she faced, the laughs she had, and the emotional rollercoaster ride she experienced in her relationship with a Narcissist, her love for Mellors her cat [who is certainly a character!] and the obstacles she overcame! Alice is one determined woman, and you'll be routing for her all the way! I know I was!' 'Alice touched me with her pathos and wit, and her ability to look at herself in an honest and accepting way. If you want a companion on your journey, one who will help you to laugh and cry without being too precious about it all, then take her with you. A lovely first book.' 'In this memoir of life on a narrowboat, Alice White combines wit and pathos in sharing her experiences of a difficult relationship. She emerges navigating her own course with resilience and resourcefulness in the company of her characterful cat Mellors. Some scenes will remain with me for a long time, including the dark, cramped and claustrophobic journey through Blisworth Tunnel. There are insightful reflections at the end of each chapter which gave me pause for thought. A book to treasure.' 'A woman in her 40s, charmed out of her head, suddenly finds herself living on a narrowboat with a man she hardly knows. The author, who was that woman, here recounts her experience in a manner both poignant and often funny. Whilst doing so, she provides interesting reflections on the nature of interpersonal relations more generally (and also manages to find space for some specific do's and don'ts about living on a narrow boat).' 'This book is an amazing read cover to cover! I went from tears, to laughter and everything in between. It's also very inspiring! I keep re opening and having a read again of the reflections at the end of each section. Thoroughly recommend!'
