For Better For Worse, For Richer For Poorer by Damian Horner

Damian Horner is scared that fifteen years in advertising have turned him into a bastard. As he approaches his fortieth birthday, he wants to see if he can be a good husband and a good father before it's too late. Siobhan, his wife, would like to find out too but has other worries. Do marriage and kids mean she's now trapped in a world of suburban domesticity? It takes a miserable day and a bottle of wine to change everything. Suddenly Damian and Siobhan decide to throw their lives in the air and escape to the French canals, taking with them their son Noah who is two years old and can barely talk, and their daughter India who is one and cannot walk. Told in two voices, we hear both sides of their story and get the whole truth as Damian and Siobhan describe coming to terms with themselves and their life on board an old fishing boat in France with no space, no fridge, no charts, no deadlines and no flushing toilet.

"Their adventures not only renew a passion for the slow life but are a great read" -- Paul Blezard THE LADY "there's a brilliant bit towards the end describing how a clever idea from Shiv fixed the boat and saved the day" -- Sam Leith DAILY MAIL "a fascinating insight into the journey the couple shared from their individual perspectivesa unique and compelling story" SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY "highly entertaining and full of interesting observations, particularly with regard to the difficulties involved when living in such embarrassingly cramped conditions" SAILING TODAY
