Review:
"Compassionate, amusing, sardonic and highly intelligent" (Michael Ignatieff Independent on Sunday)
"Isabel Fonseca's book is literally a revelation: a hidden world - at once ignored and secretive, persecuted and unknown - is uncovered in these absorbing pages. She writes with grace, insight and passion, and peoples her text with vibrant characters brought vividly to life. It is a magnificent achievement" (Salman Rushdie)
"A grand panorama of European gypsydom, its history, its present condition and its future prospects" (Jan Morris Sunday Times)
"A passionate and dramatic defence of the defenceless... This beautifully written story speaks in a way of all who do not want to submit to he reverses of fortune, who seek their own place on earth" (Ryszard Kapuscinski)
"An utterly fascinating, and even inspiring, book" (Edward Mortimer Financial Times)
