Although much has been written about the Nazi death camps, Fires in the Dark specifically addresses the decimation of the Gypsy population of Eastern Europe. The story follows a number of families, one in particular, as the novel chronicles the gradual movement of fascism across the country, beginning with mandatory registration and specific “rules” that govern the gypsies’ mobility.
I found the book a bit tedious in the beginning though it picked up the pace when the focus of the book centres on one character and his survival of the war. Although a fiction it would have been nice to have a bibliography of the research and a glossary of Romany terms and language. ( )
