Book description
A wild and bittersweet adventure into a world none but Machvaia Gypsies
know - Susan Sarandon Gypsies in America are hidden. With estimates
between fifty thousand and over a million, the Gypsy population is as
mysterious as their ways, and vast amounts of misinformation swirl
around them. Lola's Luck peers behind the curtain, past the paisley
walls and twinkling lights to find an "expert advisor on love,
business and marriage." Lola's Luck introduces a remarkable woman
who drew a young anthropologist into her colorful society, changing her
life. A true story of luck, kinship, love and an entire world hidden
from view, Lola's Luck is a stunning personal memoir of life among the
Gypsies of America. Here is a fresh response to the stereotypes that
surround a traditional culture trying to keep itself alive in the face
of American values. In the end, it is Lola's story-"the story of
the world!"-that is riveting. Hand on hip, heart as big as the
widest space, a Gypsy, yes, and a Queen. A wild and bittersweet
adventure into a world none but Machvaia Gypsies know
