      abstract = {In 1998, Eberstadt and her family moved from New York to  Perpignan, France, a city with one of the largest Gypsy  populations in Western Europe. Always fascinated with Gypsy  music, Eberstadt became obsessed with a local band called  Tekameli, perhaps the greatest Gypsy band between Barcelona  and Budapest. After eighteen futile months, she was at last  invited into the home of Tekameli's lead singer, Moïse  Espinas. Here she found a jealously guarded culture--a  society made, in part, of lawlessness and defiance of  non-Gypsy norms--that nonetheless made room for her, "a  privileged American in a Mediterranean underworld." As her  relationship with the Espinas family changed over the years  from mutual bafflement to friendship, Eberstadt found  herself a part of Gypsy life, moving about in a large  group--at cockfights, in storefront churches, at malls, in  homes, and at rehearsals, discovering lives lived "between  biblical laws and strip-mall consumerism."--From publisher  description.},
