It is 1943, and three very different girls are longing to do their bit for the war effort.  Frances is stifled by her traditional upbringing and she falls for a most unsuitable man. Prudence and her horizons have never strayed beyond her job as a bank clerk in Croydon until the war brings her new experiences. Rosalind, a beautiful flame-haired actress, catches the eye of Frances\'s stuffy elder brother, the 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.  Product Information: • ISBN: 9780552178815 • Author: Margaret Mayhew • Publisher: Corgi • Format: Paperback • Pages: 432 • Dimensions: 17.78 x 11.43 x 3.56 cm
