As the saying goes "we learn something new every day". What women did during WW II amazes me. It is 1943 and three girls from completely different backgrounds all want to do their 'bit' for the war effort; against all advice they join the 'band of women working on the canals', delivering heavy goods, while the men are at war. A tough, unglamorous task but one that brings them all unexpected reward and long-term friendship. Well researched but also mixed with romance.
