Huw Thomas crafts a fine tale relying almost exclusively on Findo Gask to do his heavy lifting.  There are elements of modern day David Copperfield at play in the novel, which focuses on the British societal underbelly having produced the titular character who uses his thieving gifts to survive, entertain himself and finally attempt to win the love of a woman.  The story would have been greatly aided by some parallel plot lines (more dimensions) in place of some drawn out physical descriptions.  Thomas is at his best when penning realistic dialogue and depicting the characters who comprise this deprived component of society where mere survival is such a prominent factor in day to day life. Overall a pleasant enough read.  Huw Thomas is a capable,  patient, and gifted writer.
