"Sharp insights into the humor, language, wisdom and taboos of the Roma (gypsies)."
"Whether as handy scapegoats or figments of the romantic imagination, the gypsies have always been with us -- but never before have they been brought so vividly to life."
I read this book after visiting Romania and our encounters with gypsies there. This is an intimate look at a much disparaged minority.
