Book Reviews of Gypsies
Book Review: The true life of the Rom
Summary: 5 Stars
Beautifully written, incredibly descriptive, and by far the most in-depth and honest record of the Romani Gypsies. Jan Yoors' half life as a Gypsy is unlike any other account you'll read about the Rom.
Summary of Gypsies
At the age of twelve, Jan Yoors ran away from his privileged, cultured Belgian family and home to join a wandering band, a kumpania, of Gypsies. For ten years, he lived as one of them, traveled with them from country to country, shared both their pleasures and their hardships--and came to know them as no one, no outsider, ever has. Here, in this firsthand and highly personal account of an extraordinary people, Yoors tells the real story of the Gypsies' fascinating customs and their neverending struggle to survive as free nomads in a hostile world.Cultural Books
