1857
A novel written in the mid-19th century. This work serves as a sequel to Borrow's earlier book ''Lavengro,'' and it continues to explore themes of Romani culture, identity, and the experiences of its protagonist. The narrative is likely to focus on the interactions between the main character and various influences, including the Romany people and the complexities of societal norms. The opening of the novel introduces the protagonist waking in a dingle, suggesting a life of simplicity and intimacy with nature. He has just finished creating a linch-pin to repair a chaise and engages with Belle, a fellow character who is present during this labor. This initial scene highlights the practical skills of the protagonist and sets a tone of camaraderie as well as hints at his relationships with other characters, such as the postillion who later arrives for breakfast. The text showcases Borrow's keen observations of character interactions and establishes a setting that is distinctly tied to the everyday lives of its characters, as well as the deeper cultural themes that will likely unfold throughout the novel.
