All Boats Are Sinking by Hannah Pierce BLOG TOUR #AllBoatsAreSinking @hpierce214 @Summersdale @RandomTTours #Giveaway #Prize #Competition

 

All Boats Are Sinking is a memoir of love, life and chaos on a narrowboat, perfect for fans of Dolly Alderton, Helen Fielding and Phoebe Waller-Bridge

"All boats are sinking, Hannah, just at different rates."

After a break-up, some hit the gym; some cut their hair; others have a one-night stand. In the aftermath of her break-up, Hannah bought a narrowboat.

Newly single and plunged into life on the water, Hannah had to learn quickly how to grapple with exploding toilets, disappearing hulls, and the curious glances and questions from pedestrians on the towpath. But when career burn-out, a global pandemic and an ill-advised rebound relationship threatened to sink her, Hannah felt the need to escape. In a bid to let go of the past and restore her sense of self-worth, she embarked on a narrowboat odyssey which took her from the bustling streets of London to the tranquil yet dramatic waterways of West Yorkshire.

Suffering from an apparent magnetism to drama but buoyed by her brilliant friends, Hannah tells of the challenges of off-grid life as a single 30-something on the water. All this as she tries to balance the tension between owning her singledom and giving in to a deep desire to find love.

Peppered with lists, recipes, maps, footnotes and diagrams, and spanning hundreds of miles of the British waterways, it's an uplifting and often hilarious story of adventure and personal growth, and of a woman trying to keep her boat and life afloat. And to answer that perennial question: yes, it's cold on the boat in winter.

All Boats Are Sinking by Hannah Pierce

Hannah Pierce trained as an actor before writing, producing and performing in theatre for young people and adults across the UK and abroad. 

She has worked a number of roles since, but a common thread of presenting live arts is always central to her career. 

As a writer, Hannah has written for the stage, and her one-woman show on the valiant adventures of an online dater received critical acclaim. 

All Boats are Sinking is her first book. 

Hannah looks forward to taking on her next writing project, and intends to find inspiration through her imminent foray into a little-known thing called "motherhood". 

She now lives in South London with one foot still firmly rooted on her narrowboat Argie Bargie, moored somewhere in the UK.
