Oh, this book inspired so much. It was about a gypsy woman named Zoli. And though the book didn't flow very well, it was still extraordinarily interesting. It didn't romantasize the life of a gypsy at all. There was such a truth to this story and the lives of gypsies. In the book, a regular non-gypsy guy falls for Zoli. He brings her talent to the real world, and he tries to conform her to his way of life. The normal way of life. But Zoli struggles and in the end goes back to the ways of the gyspy because she cannot live in the real world. She prefers the opennes of the forest and the way the leaves feel against her naked feet. :)
This book inspired a song-about a friend, about a gypsy, about nature-about love. So I bought a copy of the book for my friend and wrote out the song in books pages. :) She once gave me a necklace in the style of the book cover. The necklace had tiny leaves all over it. I remember when she gave it to me. She said she bought it because it reminded her of me. I said I loved it because it was something that reminded me of her. We have that kind of friendship. And the book-Zoli-her character is the two of us put together.
