‘Katharine Quarmby does an excellent job of teasing out the many
nuances [of the situation for Gypsies and Travellers]… it is
essential reading for anyone who wants to get beyond the flippant,
homogenising headlines’
*Literary Review*
'Meticulously researched… necessary and timely.'
*The Tablet*
‘With a keen sense of compassion and unwavering frankness,
Katharine Quarmby breaks through rigid stereotypes and leads us
into the communities that have remained for so long without a voice
of their own.’
*Oksana Marafioti, author of American Gypsy: A Memoir*
'An admirably measured and authoritative portrait of a diverse,
isolated and often wilfully misunderstood minority… Wise, quietly
incandescent [and] insightful.'
*Telegraph*
