Gypsy Boy on the Run by Mikey Walsh is a fascinating, heart-wrenching story of a young boy’s experiences growing up in the Romany Gypsy community. Coming from a long line of hardened fighters, Mikey feels like he is constantly disappointing his Father when he doesn’t live up to what is expected of him. Torn between his family and being who he really is, Mikey’s struggle to come to terms with his sexuality sees him running away from the place he has called home all of his life.
A gripping account of Mikey’s life on the ‘outside’, this book is a must read and keeps you hooked right until the end. Find it available now in the Fiction section on the first floor.
