Book description
The Other Side of the River tells the story of Gennetta Turner, whose
father owns a large jet-carving company. Competition between the
companies is intense, and Mr Turner devises a way of consolidating his
hold over the town by marrying his daughter off to the son of his
arch-rival. However, Gennetta is wildly in love with her childhood
sweetheart, a young sailor. How Gennetta foils her father's plan, defies
local custom and makes a success of her own career is related in Jessica
Blair's inimitable style, full of pace, adventure and appealing local
detail.
