Gypsy Boy on the Run

My Escape from a Life Among the Romany Gypsies

Mikey Walsh,

About this book

An English man struggles to define himself and his sexuality outside the bounds of traditional Romany culture in this intimate memoir.
"Funny, touching, and heartbreaking in equal measures . . . a coming-of-age tale like no other." — Grazia magazine
Mikey Walsh didn't know what life was like beyond his Gypsy community. But after fleeing home at age fifteen, he had no choice but to find out.
After centuries of persecution, Gypsies are wary of outsiders, and if you choose to leave, you can never come back. Torn between his family and his heart, Mikey struggled to come to terms with the Gypsy culture and its violent, conservative traditions. At last, he decided to set out on his own. He soon discovered the outside world wasn't all that he expected, and his life would never be the same again.
A shocking yet ultimately triumphant memoir, Gypsy Boy on the Run follows Mikey as he comes to terms with himself, his family, and his past—and builds a new life for himself.
"A great-hearted book of tenderness and brutality." — Kirkus Reviews
"Every bit as stellar as its predecessor. If you're searching for something for vacation, weekending or just because, Gypsy Boy on the Run is the best escape." — The Washington Blade
