The Constant Heart
Rosina May grows up in a Thames bargeman family and is expected to accept a marriage arranged for practical advantage. Her life is further disrupted by a river pirate whose violence exposes how vulnerable trading families are on the waterways.
After her father’s death, Rosina takes on work traditionally reserved for men and tries to preserve the family livelihood. Her struggle for control of the boat and her own future forces her to confront both criminal danger and the social rules intended to keep her dependent.
