Excerpt from The Ragged Edge: A Tale of Ward Life Politics
Arrah, me jewel, sure, Larry's the boy! Old song. Eary horses dragged ponderous trucks homeward the drivers drooped upon their high seats and thought of cans of beer; a red sun threw shafts of light along the cross-town streets and between the rows of black warehouses.
The porters had all gone for the night from Mason Sons, and young Mason stood upon the office step, about to lock the door, when Kerrigan jumped from a passing car and hailed him.
I just happened to notice you as I was going by, Kerrigan said; and that reminded me that I wanted to speak to you.
Come in and sit down, said Mason, leading the way into the office.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book depicts the interwoven lives of several interconnected characters living in the rough neighborhood surrounding an impoverished Catholic parish in the early 20th century. Amidst the daily struggle for survival and the temptations of the criminal underworld, the novel explores the complex morality of a community wrestling with poverty and sin. Themes such as redemption, family loyalty, and the allure of easy money are deftly examined, compelling readers to question their own moral compasses. The author presents a vivid portrait of the challenges and heartaches faced by the working class, particularly the Irish immigrant community, and the ways in which they navigate a society that often marginalizes them. Ultimately, this book illuminates the human capacity for both great evil and profound compassion, offering a nuanced and thought-provoking examination of life on the ragged edge.
