"The Invisible Ones" by Stef Penney ****

• Originally published 2012
• Audiobook
• Scottish author
• She also wrote "The Loneliness of Wolves" and although this plot involves Gypsies in  England, it also involves a missing girl, and seems to echo the theme of transformative appearances of characters from the past
• Review:  Once again, Stef Penney serves up a wonderful story which contains an intriguing plot, memorable characters and some food for thought in the form of background on the lives of modern day gypsies.  The search for a missing woman leads the reader into the world of gypsies and "gorgios" (non-gypsies).  We learn about their social status, their own social hierarchy, their prejudices, their oppression, and the complications which naturally arise from living in a closed society within an open one.  If you have read "The Loneliness of Wolves", you will recognize the repeat of the missing person theme, which has left me intrigued to know more about the author's life.  This is a very very good read!
