In the gypsy choir there was no singer who could compare to Nastya—she was prettier, more talented than anyone, and, as it turned out, more reckless too. Money and jewels were thrown at her feet, and Prince Sbezhnev, a Moscow aristocrat, wanted to marry her. But she ran away with the camp gypsy Ilya.
Life in the camp is special, with its own laws—outsiders aren’t treated kindly here. But Nastya is ready to endure cold, hunger, and separation from her loved ones—only to be with her beloved… Can he answer her love with the same devotion, and above all, with loyalty?
The novel has also been published under the titles “Love— a roaming cart,” and “Passions of the camp gypsies.”
