Join us for an evening with Jo Bell, award winning poet, writer and archaeologist as she talks about her new memoir Boater, journeying through the past and present of our historic canals. For over twenty years Jo Bell has travelled the waterways of England (and sometimes Wales) meeting extraordinary people in an extraordinary environment. It’s a journey that's taught her about human nature, including her own; about rope and Brasso and bravery; about ducks and locks, and above all, about the necessity for a constant supply of biscuits. In this smart, funny memoir she describes an alternative nation within a nation, a place of different maps and deep history, and home to people who live and work in a world quite separate from the land a few feet away on the banks. Always at home, always on the move, Jo's peaceful life is interrupted when a turbulent relationship takes her on a year-long odyssey through tranquil waters and on to the treacherous Bristol Channel. Join her as she navigates shallow waters and deep trouble, and welcomes readers onboard a remarkable voyage through the past, present and future of our remarkable canals and the communities they support. Jo Bell has writtem a beautifully crafted memoir. We look forward to welcoming her to Booka to celebrate its publication. Event Format: Author talk ' in conversation' followed by audience Q&A and book signing Tickets: £10 without book (Admits One, ticket redeemable against a signed copy of Boater) or £17 with book (Admits One, includes a signed copy of Boater) Refunds: It is our general policy not to refund event tickets unless an event has sold out.
