探花直播 Literature Festival: Boater with Jo Bell

As the city famous for having 鈥榤ore canals than Venice鈥�, it is our pleasure to welcome former UK Canal Laureate Jo Bell to the festival. Her memoir, Boater, details the twenty years Jo has spent living on England鈥檚 waterways, offering readers a glimpse into a way of living and working that feels very different to life on land.

It follows Jo鈥檚 journey as she takes a year long odyssey towards the Bristol Channel amid a turbulent relationship, and welcomes readers onboard a remarkable journey through her past, the history of England鈥檚 canals and the extraordinary communities they support.
