Synopsis
Moleskin Joe is one of the most memorable characters to appear in Scottish writer Patrick MacGill's first two books, Children of the Dead End and The Rat-Pit . This sequel, first published in 1923, recalls the tramps and navvies that MacGill encountered in his years on the road in Scotland and the north of England (during the early years of the twentieth century.) It centers around the tramp, Moleskin Joe, who falls in love with a young Irish woman he meets on his travels. Filled with superb characterizations, humor, poignancy, and eloquence, it's a vivid portrayal of the hardships of the immigrant experience that MacGill not only experienced himself, but also successfully exposed to a huge audience through his writing
