Description
Dominic Reeve's vivid account of life among the Romani people in the 1950s is a memorable record of a disappearing world. The author recounts the feuds, fairs, and joyful outdoor existence of the Gypsies, bringing to life a cast of characters that evoke both the harsh realities and the beauty of their way of life. Through his story, Reeve captures the spirit of a community on the fringes of society, where freedom and tradition coexist in a world of sharp deals, love affairs, and lively celebrations.
