In this slim, dearly loved, Booker Prize-winning novel, Penelope Fitzgerald portrays a community of eccentric houseboat-dwellers in 1960s Battersea. Meet shady Maurice, ex-navy Richard, and Nenna - an abandoned wife with her wonderful, waterproof children ...  Subtle, witty, and surprising, this is an ingenious novel by one of my very favourite writers.
