'Jinny the Carrier' is a novel about a woman named Jinny who worked as a carrier in the rural area and the people she encountered along the way. The story starts once upon a time—but then it was more than once, it was, in fact, every Tuesday and Friday—when Jinny the Carrier, of Blackwater Hall, Little Bradmarsh, went the round with her tilt-cart from that torpid Essex village on the Brad, through Long Bradmarsh (over the brick bridge) to worldly, bustling Chipstone, and thence home again through the series of droughty hamlets with public pumps that curved back—if one did not take the wrong turning at the Four Wantz Way—to her too aqueous birthplace: baiting her horse, Methusalem, at "The Black Sheep" in Chipstone like the other carters and wagoners, sporting a dog with a wicked eye and a smart collar, and even blowing a horn as if she had been the red-coated guard of the Chelmsford coach sweeping grandly to his goal down the High Street of Chipstone.

"Children of the Ghetto" is an engrossing novel set in late nineteenth-century London. It gave an inside look into an immigrant community almost as mysterious to Britain's more established middle-class Jews as to the non-Jewish population. The writer, through this story, provides an interesting analysis of a generation stuck between the ghetto and modern British life.
