| Summary | "Jonah" by Louis Stone is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores life in a working-class neighborhood in Sydney, focusing on the character of Jonah, a hunchback and a member of a group known as the Push. As the narrative unfolds, it captures the vibrancy and challenges of street life, ranging from friendships and social interactions to his conflicted feelings about family responsibilities and romance. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Jonah's world, where he interacts with friends in the Push while navigating the bustling streets filled with shops and characters. The opening scene vividly depicts a Saturday night, filled with the energy of the local community as residents shop and socialize. Jonah's relationships begin to take shape, particularly his connection with Ada and her mother, Mrs. Yabsley, as they navigate the complexities of life, love, and the expectations of family. Notably, the arrival of Ada's child brings forth Jonah's internal struggles with his own identity and societal roles, setting the stage for deeper themes of belonging and responsibility that will evolve throughout the novel.
