About this product
Product Information
Mikey was born into a Romany Gypsy family. They live in a closeted community, and little is known about their way of life. After centuries of persecution Gypsies are wary of outsiders and if you choose to leave you can never come back.This is something Mikey knows only too well.Growing up, he rarely went to school, and seldom mixed with non-Gypsies. The caravan and camp were his world. But although Mikey inherited a vibrant and loyal culture his family s legacy was bittersweet with a hidden history of grief and abuse.Eventually Mikey was forced to make an agonising decision to stay and keep secrets, or escape and find somewhere he could truly belong.Product Identifiers

Great read
So easy to read yet hard to fathom the hate and misery this boy was put through by his father and uncle. Left me quite emotional at times with humour and hate in equal measure.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Funny, appalling and terrifying.
This book gives you an insight on how gypsies live. Funny in places but very dysfunctional in others. Cruelty to children is distressing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
