- Summary:
- Joining a team of housecleaners wouldn't be every girl's choice of a career move. But the ad promises an excellent wage, and these three young women all desperately need the money. May has just left her job and must clear the debts hanging over her beloved canal boat, The Rose Revived. Harriet hopes to study art, but has an illegitimate son to raise. And Sally, having just failed yet another audition, is having boyfriend trouble. Despite their inexperience, they're all hired - but soon land in even hotter water than they expected. This hilarious and poignant tale follows their attempts to save The Rose Revived and make ends meet - while mopping up their love lives and polishing their dreams.
