Clash - Part 2

In the aftermath of the General Strike, Joan has to choose between her passionate politics and giving up her work for a comfortable life with Tony, the man she has fallen for.
Ellen Wilkinson's political romance, set during the 1926 General Strike, explores the clash between North and South, work and life, tradition and emerging roles. Joan Craig bridges all these divides with energy and talent, but ultimately has to choose whose side she's on.
