From the Inside Flap

It is 1976 and England is suffocating. The long, dry spring has given way to a summer of severe drought, with standpipes in the streets and a rallying cry to ‘save water, share a bath!’ For the farmers, life has become a daily struggle to make ends meet.

This book held me spellbound from beginning to end - I couldn't put it down. I just hope Judith writes a sequel.
