Welcome to Litsy!

Overall, the book was ok. Fonseca was a bit all over the place – the chapters didn‘t really tie together. I think I didn‘t like her writing style. She included some photos of some of the various people she talked to. I suppose the most interesting to me was the chapter on the Holocaust. Cont in comments...

I know I have three novels going right now, but I always feel like I should be reading nonfiction, as well. I'm very excited to start this one.

#TBRTuesday this is most of my history/memoir section I own and I am in love with it. 😍

Fonesca's gives voice to the voiceless, and as mentioned in the book, there are parallels to other ethnic groups in terms of the atrocities and injustices they have faced...though theirs are often met with a blind eye. A telling and at times heartbreaking look into the lives of Roma.

Before reading this book, I knew only a little of the harsh treatment of the Roma (Gypsies). But it's difficult to read of the injustices (put mildly) done to them, particularly in Romania... Proving to be quite the interesting, if not very enlightening, read.

My next read. People and a world that has always interested me...I am looking forward to reading this one.
