WRiter of fiction and Travel
Austria, 1944. Jakob, a gypsy boy, half Roma, half Yenish, runs, as he has been told to do. With shoes of sack cloth, still bloodstained with another’s blood, a stone clutched in one hand, a small wooden box in the other. He runs blindly, full of fear, empty of hope. For hope lies behind him in a green field with a tree that stands shaped like a Y.
Spanning from one world war to another, taking us across England, Switzerland and Austria, Jakob’s Colours draws from the little-known piece of history: the Porajmos, or Gypsy Holocaust. Told through the interlinking stories of Jakob, an eight year old gypsy boy, his Roma father Yavy, and his English mother Lor, this is a first novel about the legacies passed down from one generation to another, about finding hope where there is no hope and colour where there is no colour.
