Beggarman, Thief

Wesley, haunted by his father's murder, begins a strange and deeply personal quest; Billy becomes involved with a girl who leads him into unexpected dangers; Gretchen finds new challenges and experiences a remarkable twist to her life.

Moving between Europe and America, BEGGARMAN, THIEF is a brilliant novel chronicling the fortunes of one family ¿ the joys, sorrows, successes and failures. This is not only the gripping sequel to Irwin Shaw's bestselling RICH MAN, POOR MAN, but also an outstanding novel in its own right.
