Flood Water — Peter Ling

The second volume of the powerful saga of the Judge family, set in London's docklands between the wars. Ruth Judge has married Connor O'Dell and become landlady of the Jolly Waterman pub. During the twenties and thirties, the East End is beset by strikes and political unrest. The Judge family, with its rich mixture of English, Irish and Jewish blood, is caught up in the action - but not always fighting on the same side. When a stranger appears to claim what is rightfully his, a drama from the past reaches its final conclusion.
