About This Book

A spirited young woman weary of metropolitan life converts a mobile caravan into a gypsy cart and sets out to live in the open country. The episodic narrative follows her travels through woods, lakes, and camps, bringing encounters with nomadic performers, rival campers, an enigmatic baron, and episodes of mystery and reckoning that involve letters, masked identities, and a sudden act of violence. Scenes alternate pastoral reverie and romantic adventure while examining the lure of freedom, nature's rhythms, and the costs of unconventional independence.
