Summary "The Hole in the Wall" by Arthur Morrison is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around young Stephen, who recounts his experiences growing up with his grandfather, Nathaniel Kemp, the owner of a public house on the river's edge in Wapping, called the Hole in the Wall. Through Stephen's innocent eyes, readers are introduced to a world filled with sailors, dock life, and the darker underbelly of London society, juxtaposed with moments of nostalgia and childhood whimsy. At the start of the novel, Stephen shares memories of his grandfather, highlighting both fondness and the complexities of his family life, marked by loss and the absent presence of his father at sea. The narrative transitions into a vivid depiction of Stephen's new life at the Hole in the Wall, alongside his grandfather—a man of considerable physical presence and a distinct reputation. The opening chapters establish the setting filled with colorful characters, including dubious sailors and intricate relationships, and hint at the darker themes of crime, mortality, and survival that weave through Stephen's childhood as he navigates the bustling environment around him.
