Book description
Vibrant and headstrong, Ally Pearce loves working on the Edith, her
family's narrowboat, proving she's the equal of any man on the Leeds to
Liverpool canal. Betsy, delicate, calculating and sensuously beautiful,
wants only to become a 'lady' -- and will use the most unladylike means
to become one. When Dr Tom Hartley enters the sisters' lives after a
tragic accident both are attracted to him -- but for very different
reasons... Audrey Howard was born in Liverpool in 1929. Before she
began to write she had a variety of jobs, among them hairdresser, model,
shop assistant, cleaner and civil servant. In 1981, while living in
Australia, she wrote the first of her bestselling novels. She lives in
St Anne's on Sea, her childhood home.
