One side of the street glittered like a brilliant eruption with the light from a row of shops; the others, lined with houses, was almost deserted, for the people, drawn like moths by the glare, crowded and jostled under the lights.

Description
Jonah is the story of two larrikins: the unforgettable Joe Jones—known as Jonah—and Chook. Jonah, born a hunchback, is feared and revered in equal measure as the ruthless leader of the Push, a violent gang that terrorises the slums of Waterloo.
Chook, a fellow member of the Push, is Jonah's loyal best friend. But after a chance encounter with his son, the result of a casual affair, Jonah decides to abandon the larrikin life and settle down.
He marries Ada, the mother of his child, and takes advantage of an opportunity to open his own business.

Jonah by Louis Stone is hailed as a significant contribution to Australian fiction, praised for its compelling and well-crafted storytelling. The novel's protagonist, Jonah, is described as an intriguing character akin to a "Napoleon of the gutter," with reviewers lauding Stone's nuanced writing style. Critics have noted that each page feels deliberately written, ensuring there are no wasted words, and memorable characters like Mrs Yabsley have been highlighted as particularly striking within Australian literature.
