Episode description

The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: https://n9.cl/qjs3vd Jonah By Louis Stone Narrated by Gregory Dwyer A wonderful character-filled novel of Larrikin life in the poorer areas of early Sydney.Johah describes the social atmosphere of many of the working class, and in particular traces the change in the main character of Jonah, a hunchback, from his beginnings in life as a “streetarab” to rising successfully in the world of business with his own street smarts. The narrative reflects many social views of the time, some of which may be considered unacceptable today, but the author’s writing brings a real-life and identifiable cheerfulness in his characters. His expectation that a person’s better qualities will eventually find expression remains engaging to the audience of today.
