About this title

Synopsis:

Much like the works of Flann O'Brien, Samuel Beckett, and Edna O'Brien, this unique novel portrays the confrontation between modern youth and its freedom and the older civilization of the Western world. ""A remarkable first novel by a remarkable woman."" - NY Times. ""Lively and good."" - Guardian. Juanita Casey's father and her Irish mother were both gypsies. Born in 1925, neither conventional education nor a conventional life suited her. First married at sixteen, she spent the early part of life as a nomad, traveling with her family and her animals.
