Jack Maggs learned to be a thief at a young age and his crimes had him end up shipped to Australia. He comes back to London after he is pardoned to seek his son.

This book had some interesting characters and was gritty and Dickensonian in a sense. But it failed to really keep me interested in Jack's plight. I didnt like him and his choices which really kept me from liking the story that much
