This is a great book about the Roma (gypsies) during World War II. I have always been intrigued by the society of gypsies (which I believe is actually a derogatory term). They were persecuted by the Nazis and many died alongside Jews during the Holocaust; this is a novel based on historic fact during that time period. It is a sad story of survival that left me wondering what exactly happened to the Sinti Roma, and finding that there is not a whole lot of information on them. Nonetheless, this is a very readable book about a terrible time in history.
