Rudder Grange

A newly married couple convert a stranded canal boat into a cozy floating home and take in a boarder, prompting a string of comic domestic episodes. The narrative follows their adjustments to household work, the arrival and influence of a spirited young woman who sparks changes aboard, and a parade of visitors, schemes, excursions, and child-related complications. Told in episodic, lightly satirical vignettes, the work examines inventive housing, household management, neighborly relations, and the small absurdities that arise when unconventional living collides with social expectations.
