The gripping story of a fascinating, witty lady and her love affair with an old Thames Barge. Caroline Nicholl and her new husband Bryn give up high-flying Media lives in London's famous Fleet Street to make a home on an old Thames Barge lying in the mud in Essex. Life on the Varuna turns out to be a long way from 'cocktails on deck at sundown', in both negative and positive ways, and Caroline writes about it all with a distinctively dry and laconic wit. Even the tragic ending fails to dim her ability to 'keep on keeping on' - Read it, and see why it has been called "Riveting", "A great read" and "a treasure"
