"Inspired by the lost voices of the Romany Holocaust, this is a book like no other"
cover. Austria, 1944. Jakob, a gypsy boy
half Roma, half Yenish
runs, as he has been told to do. With shoes of sack cloth, still bloodstained with another's blood, a stone clutched in one hand, a small wooden box in the other. He runs blindly, full of fear, empty of hope. Spanning one world war to another, taking us across England, Switzerland and Austria, this novel is drawn from the Porajmos, also known as The Devouring or Gypsy Holocaust, which claimed a higher percentage per population than the Jewish Holocaust.
