Troubled Waters
Margaret Cornish
I read this while on a canal holiday. During the last war women
called "trainees" worked on the canals transporting coal. They
worked really hard in terrible conditions but the author loved
it. After the war she bought a boat and lived on it until her old
age. Leighton Buzzard gets a mention as a lady used to offer the
trainees her bathroom.
