"In Beggarman, Thief Irwin Shaw continues in masterly style the saga of the Jordache family, immortalized in Rich Man, Poor Man.
This is the story of Rudolph, his contemporaries, and the second generation of Jordaches. Tom's son, Wesley, haunted by his father's murder, begins a strange and deeply personal quest. Billy Abbott, Gretchen's son, becomes involved with a girl who leads him into unexpected dangers, while Gretchen herself finds new challenges and experiences a remarkable twist to her life. These are some of the elements through which the author has constructed this superb and gripping novel.
Irwin Shaw fills a huge canvas, moving with consummate skill between Europe and America, as he pursues his fortunes - the joys and sorrows, the successes and failures - of each member of the family."
