Previously published as The Summer Season.

For fans of Katie Flynn and Dilly Court, The Canal Boat Girl is a heart-warming novel from the queen of family saga and author of The Nursemaid's Secret.

Wales, 1883

Young Ruth Owen, a talented musician with a scholarship to a prestigious music school, has a sparkling career ahead of her. But after a run-in with her mysterious tutor, she flees to London, leaving everything and everyone behind.

London, 1897

Fourteen years later, Ruth, now married with two children, finds herself struggling for money and a place to live. Left with no other option, they decide to return to Wales and live on a canal boat. Life on the canals may seem idyllic, but what troubles await her return? And can the past ever truly be forgotten?
