From Booklist
Beth has grown up on the English canals under brutally impoverished conditions that have worsened since the First World War and the increasing use of trains and trucks that threatens her family's livelihood. Two very different men become infatuated with Beth because of her good looks and her ability to read. Harry, representing low-level management, feels entitled to rape Beth, believing she wants him. Anthony, a union agitator, is trying to organize the workers Beth has rescued after a beating by company goons. Beth ends up marrying a fellow boatman while trying to avoid Harry and yearning for Anthony as the labor movement and Beth's life collide. Johnson's love story, set against the backdrop of England's labor movement between the world wars, focuses on the hand-to-mouth existence of itinerant workers and the toll on families struggling against a lack of education or any opportunity for improvement.
