Review
Praise for The Year the Gypsies Came: 'Wonderful . . . This is a new book with an old and wise heart. It may very well have the makings of a classic' - Guardian 'Beautifully, powerfully and compellingly written . . . extraordinarily moving' - Sunday Times 'This outstanding first novel arcs beautifully to its terrible climax and is deeply moving' - Observer 'Every now and then a book comes along that's unusual, compelling and deeply absorbing yet is so tragically simple, it leaves an indelible trace on the memory. The Year the Gypsies Came is one of these' - Irish Independent 'A beautifully evoked, exquisitely written novel' - Sunday Telegraph
