This slipstream fantasy starts off a little confusing, but quickly picks up. It's a Hungarian folktale in the streets of modern Lakota, Ohio. It's a police procedural and a battle between good (represented by three gypsy brothers, who are also birds) and evil (a beautiful queen of an underworld or sorts). It's about growing up and growing old, about letting go and learning to recreate severed ties. It's about being alone and working it. It's about music, fortune telling, traveling and staying home, first love, true love, and the daily ups and downs of a patrol cop's life. If you liked Neil Gaiman's American Gods, give The Gypsy a chance.
