Book description
A tale of courage, warmth and grit, continuing the saga begun in old
Father Thames.
In turn of the century Southwark, times are changing. Traffic on the
river is waning, replaced by the railways, and the mass of new
inventions - the telephone, moving pictures, motor cars - is beginning
to transform every day life.
It's all change for the members of the close knit community too, and
some find it easier to adapt than others. Belinda is forgiving her way
as an independent woman; Mary tries to find the courage to stand up to
her mother; Fred faces the ultimate challenge when the docks go up in
fire; Maggie driven by the loss of her baby, and Tom cannot escape his
chequered past. Sally Spencer was born and brought up in Marston,
Cheshire. She now lives in Spain.
