Inhaltsangabe:
Both a sequel and a parallel to Children of the Dead End, The Rat-Pit (the name of a Glasgow lodging house) tells the tragic tale of Donegal girl Norah Ryan's struggle against poverty at the turn of the century. Forced into a life of vice, this is the moving story of one woman's decline and death. At the same time it is also a much larger story of the oppression, poverty and racism suffered by Irish immigrants to Britain at that time, and of the hypocrisy of a society which used and abused, yet turned away from the dark underbelly it had created.
