Bury Me Standing The Gypsies and their Journey

"Compassionate, amusing, sardonic and highly intelligent" -- Michael Ignatieff Independent on Sunday "Isabel Fonseca's book is literally a revelation: a hidden world - at once ignored and secretive, persecuted and unknown - is uncovered in these absorbing pages. She writes with grace, insight and passion, and peoples her text with vibrant characters brought vividly to life. It is a magnificent achievement" -- Salman Rushdie "A grand panorama of European gypsydom, its history, its present condition and its future prospects" -- Jan Morris Sunday Times "A passionate and dramatic defence of the defenceless... This beautifully written story speaks in a way of all who do not want to submit to he reverses of fortune, who seek their own place on earth" -- Ryszard Kapuscinski "An utterly fascinating, and even inspiring, book" -- Edward Mortimer Financial Times
