Not to complain, but the margins in my book are too small for my notes… so I now have a yellow notepad to be snarky on.
One point of complaint…. There is too much untranslated French in here. I‘m creating a personal glossary for the book… since in my infinite wisdom, I took Spanish in school, not French.
Another purchase yesterday from Good Books in the Woods, a fantastic bookstore in The Woodlands north of Houston.

After reading gypsy boy a previous boyfriend of the author (who is mentioned more in the second book apparently) wrote an interesting blog about both books, including a statement from the authors family accusing lies and fabrication 🤔
pickA glimpse into the Romany Gyspy world, strict traditions, illegal activities , colourful language! and as a child knowing no different. I really wasn‘t prepared for the level of abuse this poor boy suffered. Born into a well know fighting family & expected to follow in his father‘s footsteps and not bring shame upon the Walsh name.
Heartbreaking , A difficult read at times 🙏
