Book Description
In Regency England, a woman risks scandal, disgrace, even her own life for a forbidden passion in this “sure-to-please saga” (Kirkus Reviews). From the moment the handsome, raffish stranger with the gold earring throws her a kiss, Jessica Frenshaw is enchanted. Rumored to be a half-Spanish wanderer who can predict the future, Romany Jake is unjustly put on trial for murder. After the verdict banishes him from England, Jessica despairs of ever seeing him again. But one fateful day, Jake Cadorson returns to reclaim what he has lost—including the woman who saved him from the gallows. From the ballrooms and lavish estates of Regency England through the bitter bloodshed of the Napoleonic Wars, Return of the Gypsy weaves a spellbinding tale of blackmail, murder, and illicit passion as a woman risks everything for the man she loves—a man who isn’t what he seems.

Book Description
A formidable challenge to the study of Roma (Gypsy) music is the muddle of fact and fiction in determining identity. This book investigates "Gypsy music" as a marked and marketable exotic substance, and as a site of active cultural negotiation and appropriation between the real Roma and the idealized Gypsies of the Western imagination. David Malvinni studies specific composers-including Liszt, Brahms, Rachmaninov, Janacek, and Bartók-whose work takes up contested and varied configurations of Gypsy music. The music of these composers is considered alongside contemporary debates over popular music and film, as Malvinni argues that Gypsiness remains impervious to empirical revelations about the "real" Roma.

Book Description
A gifted Romany Gypsy shares tales of the psychic readings she has foretold over five decades. These date back to 1959 where, in her home town in Bulgaria, aged just 10 years old, she first discovers her gift, with tragic consequences. Her family's Romany roots date back to the early twelfth century where tales of sorcery and witchcraft precede them. But Lavinia is different. She discovers that her sacred heart is unique and renders her fearless, playful, rare and true. Her nomadic lifestyle serves her well. But for the first six weeks of her life, she solely bonds with her Mother and is isolated from adult men. After this period of time, she is then considered to be innocent of defilement, shame or social responsibility. This is the way of the gypsy. The power of a full moon has a profound effect on Lavinia's emotions and, as her gift develops, she embraces a divine spirituality beyond her own imagination.
