Description
Gypsy Boy is a deeply moving and thought-provoking memoir that offers a rare glimpse into the life of a Romany Gypsy. Born into a community shrouded in secrecy, Mikey's story is one of both vibrant culture and hidden pain. His family's legacy is marked by both loyalty and abuse, and Mikey's decision to leave his family's world behind is a heart-wrenching and agonising one. This is a story of identity, belonging, and the struggle to find one's place in the world.
