Frustrated by the suffocating cultural apathy of her 1930s northern pit community, teenager Nancy dreams of pursuing an emancipated life in London. When her escape strategy derails, Nancy is forced to carve an alternative path to freedom that challenges her place as a young woman in a changing world.Swept into a heady bohemian London lifestyle, Nancy soon learns that a life lived without restraint comes at a price. As the consequences of her actions mount, she faces a future defined by her past and by life choices made that will reverberate through time.Unapologetic in its exploration of free will within a framework of religious and societal constraint, The Coal Boat is a coming-of-age novel that probes the deepest reaches of aspiration and personal responsibility.

This novel was about a young girl coming of age in the 1930's in London. I found this book to be engaging but tedious at times. Nancy, the main character was frustrated with her life growing up in a small coal town living with her grandparents. She dreams of moving to London so she can be free and independent. She manages to escape to London and is living a Boheman lifestyle but as time goes by She begins to question this lifestyle and many of her choices. The author does a great job describing the times of the 1930's in London. I would recommend this book.
