FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ENGLISH a timeless tribute to one of the world’s most marginalized peoples and the riveting tale of one boy’s journey to manhood Sweeping us into the world of the roma as fascism gathers force and the Holocaust looms on the horizon, The Color of Smoke is a thoroughly absorbing story that abounds in unforgettable characters. There is the adolescent narrator, torn between his people and a society that both entices him and rejects him. From his rise in school to his first sexual encounters, from hunger to police harassment, he treads a precarious path--one marked by moments of beauty and poignancy along with bawdiness, violence, and high adventure. And we come to know a people bound as much by a rich moral fabric as by the land and by the horses they love. By an author who himself came of age in a Romani settlement during World War II, The Color of Smoke is a must read for anyone seeking a stunningly new, authoritative window onto the lives of the dispossessed--with haunting implications for today.Magisterial in scope and yet intensely personal, it combines beautiful prose with profound reflections on the human condition as only great literature can. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Romany - Diva of Magic is a successful international magician performing beautiful visual magic. She performs on luxury cruise ships, swanky parties and in beautiful theatres around the world. www.romanymagic.com But as a chubby child, her dreams of performing in the spotlight didn't look likely. This is a journey of persistence and determination, of stubbornly walking towards her heart's desire despite all the obstacles and setbacks on the way. Romany reveals a life caught on the paralyzing hook of a persistent eating disorder and how discovering the mysterious but powerful Law of Attraction can change a life for the better. Reviews from Amazon. See more on the site. "The first thing to note is that she writes so well - and also that she has an entertaining and heartwarming story to tell. From a high flying business career that seemed to define her life, to her realization that this didn't have to be her truth, this inspirational book is about discovering how to live dreams with success. What also strikes me is the sheer willpower Romany has, and the rare power to take deeply life-changing decisions with no fear - what a woman! I appreciate that she does not expose any magic secrets, which is the right thing to do, but still manages to show the delight, intricacy, thoughtfulness, and dedication that marks out a real magician and allow non-magicians an insight into this world." David Harry "Bold, brave and beautiful. This book will change your life. Romany is handing you her sunlight, take it." A Owen You have the choice of cover! Both books are exactly the same inside?
