Odeline's mother dies prematurely, leaving the 19-20-year-old alone but not destitute. Her mother was an accountant/bookkeeper in suburbia in modern times. Odeline buys a canal longboat in London, hoping to keep expenses down while practicing the art of mime and finding a job doing what she does best in the city. Her father is a well-known and loved clown in a traveling circus, and Odeline naturally wishes to find him.
The marvelous array of characters that inhabit the canal area near Odeline's home/boat will beguile readers. The author's realistic rendering of all characters in the book stands out. There are no perfect people here.
Some stories are long remembered and this will be one of those for me. It's the story of people and the history of a boat and those associated with her. Fetchingly told, its a book I'd recommend to everyone. Loved this book!… (altro)
