Narrow Escape by Marie Browne

This chronicles a year she and her family are on their narrow boat in England.  It was a rough year and there were many ups and downs and crazy situations.  Some of them I could truly identify with, others just made me laugh out loud.  Some of the things that occur may seem far fetched but are things that people who live aboard have to deal with on a daily basis.  I have enjoyed all of her books.  She is funny, truthful and real.  Her books are pretty fast reads and very worth your time.
