The Year the Gypsies Came |
It is 1966, the outskirts of Johannesburg. For Emily life would be perfect - if only they did have a really happy family. But it is Buza, the old Zulu, who gives Emily the love and support she longs for. Then Streak and his itinerant family arrive, bringing novelty. Their arrival triggers a chain of events that ends in tragedy. Beautifully written for a teen audience this is a book to recommend to adults as well.
