The Battersea Barricades by Jodi Taylor

It's not easy being a rebel. So many new skills to assimilate. Never mind strategic planning, weapons expertise and the like - there's bicycle-stealing, oil-stain removal and boat steering to be mastered first.

And quickly.

It's the time of the Civil Uprisings and two young women set out to make a difference. Their only problem? They don't know where they are.

Or where they're going.

Or what to do when they get there.

Other than that. . .

Fans of St Mary's will enjoy this glimpse into the past of some of their favourite characters.
