The Romany Girl 9780552159616 Books

What young girl doesn't at some time in her life declare that she is going to run away from home and join the circus? I, personally, used to run around my house in tights (in my childhood!!) and jump around like an acrobat. For those that shared similar childhood fantasies, this is the book for you!

Polly Anna is the daughter of a Romany and an English lady. Circumstances land her in the workhouse at the age of three where she spends ten years under the most appalling of circumstances. This was quite educational for me, being my first novel about the workhouses in Victorian England. I had no idea it was so bad. In the workhouse, a crippled, mute boy named Jonty takes care of her. I fell in love with Jonty.

Tragedy strikes, however, and Polly Anna and Jonty run away and join the fair. Polly Anna makes friends and finally feels she has a family of sorts. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to her, her real family is searching for her mother. They find Polly Anna instead. How is her uppity English family going to take to her being a circus performer tho? Not to mention her being half gypsy. I imagine not everyone in her English family is going to welcome her with open arms... Trouble may lie with her Aunt Rowena.

I forgot to mention that Jonty becomes a circus clown while Polly Anna is an equestrian. This entire story was a lot of fun. I had no idea what the circus was like back in them days. I give this four stars tho because Jonty pretty much disappeared after page 300 and he was my favorite character. Around page 300, I also figured out where it was going and I was hoping it would end a bit differently as well as less predictably.
