A Field Full of Butterflies is the collected memories of Rosemary Penfold who was born in a Romany wagon in England, 1938.
This was one of the lovlier books I've read so far this year. And if it hadn't been for the poverty & the racism they dealt with on a daily basis it would have been an ideal childhood. It was rathe sentimental at times & there wasn't much about Romany culture at all unfortunately. Possibly because of the changing times but most of it read like a normal childhood but with wagons insead of houses!
All in all though it was a very charming story & portrays how important family is in the face of extreme adversity.
