It is the story of an orphan traveller or Romani girl called Kizzy, who faces persecution, grief and loss in a hostile, close-knit village community. This is a moving tale of human fallibility and sorrow, but also of strength, courage and redemption.

The story has also been adapted as a BBC radio drama of the same name. This adaptation features Nisa Cole.[1]
