Book recommendation?

[K.]

Can anyone recommend a good book on Romani culture and history, preferably one for someone who is just starting to research?

What period of the Romans are you looking at or other focus?

Aah, not Roman history, but Romani - also historically known as Gypsies.

That makes more sense! Unfortunately, not a topic I can recommend books on, but I suspect a fascinating subject.

Yes, just asking about "Roman history" is way too broad, haha! I'd hope that I would know better than that. :)

You might want to try Bury Me Standing: The Gypsies and Their Journey by Isabel Fonseca.

Just finished reading the KITCHEN HELP, loved it. All those secrets destroyed a lot of lives.
