Reviews
"'A wonderful portrait of a woman both imperial and bruised, a greying ravaged mother-wolf that still controls all those around her. A novel of rhythm and grace, a beautiful voyage with the gypsies.' Le Monde 'A beautifully feminine and fertile book...Ferney's prose at its most powerful.' Le Figaro 'Ferney, in this restrained and lyrical novel, allows you to glimpse the flaw at the heart of man's nature. A flaw that too often results in men being kept at the margin of humanity by other men.' Lire"
