I read it many years back
The comment on Romani Gipsy people as being dark skinned really gets to me- it's such a racist trope.
I have Romani ancestry via my paternal great grandfather who was full blood Roma- that makes me Didaki- part Romani.
As a result, I'm dark eyed (almost black) dark haired and very pale skinned like all the Romani kids I ever taught.
