Details

Pearl Penfold is a Romany Gypsy who has never travelled beyond her site. Joe Thompson is a house dweller wannabee-Gypsy who strives for acceptance. A tatty silver fence separates them and their worlds yet is the only place where they can meet. With the coming of The Games the corporations are moving in, forcing a mass Gypsy eviction. Joe wants to take Pearl with him but has nothing but his dreams to transport her. Pearl's Gypsy family have already arranged her marriage to Clive boy where she'll be "clean and decent" on another site. Pearl wants to go on the Drom (road) to "find out what's in me blood." But in these Orwellian times is Gypsy adventure possible?
