Jonah

Book • 1933
Set in the Sydney slums at the turn of the 20th century, 'Jonah' follows the life of Joe Jones, known as Jonah, a hunchback and the ruthless leader of the 'Push', a violent gang.

After a chance encounter with his son, Jonah decides to abandon his larrikin life and settle down.

He marries Ada, the mother of his child, and opens his own business.

The novel contrasts the sordid streets of the inner suburbs with the glittering lights of the harbour city, providing a vivid portrayal of Sydney life during that era.
