Publisher's Synopsis
It is 1943 and three very different girls are longing to do their bit for the war effort. Frances's life of seeming privilege has been a lonely one; Prudence has never looked beyond her job as a bank clerk in Croydon; Rosalind is a beautiful, flame-haired actress who catches the eye of Frances's stuffy elder brother, heir to an ancestral mansion. The three become friends when they join the band of women working the canal boats, delivering goods and doing a man's job while the men are away fighting. A tough, unglamorous task, but one which brings them all unexpected rewards.
