This is a novel that transports you straight to 1843. You are part of the prejudices and the challenges that Inzared (Bertha) faces. The novel is written in regional dialect and beautifully constructed. The author is a master of imagery. I don't know anything about the gypsy culture of the time but the author led me to feel that she had researched it extensively. I couldn't put it down - just had to know what came next. Inzared is a wonderful story and I highly recommend it not only for those who like period fiction but for those who like fine literature.
