The Snow Gypsy by Lindsay Jayne Ashford
4.0
This was the story of a woman who goes in search of her family, and instead finds a new family amongst the gypsies of Spain. It was a pretty good book. I enjoyed the descriptions of the gypsy fiesta, and some of the wildlife in Pampaneira. I also really loved Nieve, and when I thought she would die I was almost devastated. I liked Rose and Lola, too, and found them both to be well written characters. I felt my opinion of other characters change with Rose's opinions of them, so that seemed to be well written.
The last chapter of the book was odd, though. It's like, the whole story took place in 1945, and then all of a sudden we're in 2001 for a chapter, and all of the characters are old. I did like that that let us know that the little found family survived all the hardships the years put in front of them, and they stayed together.
