Описание: Amanda has two lives: one as normal as her brother Eugenes, the other: a chronic sleepwalker who sleepwalks into the black hills where shes adopted by a caravan of gypsies. There, shes empowered to protect people from the town stalker. No one notices that Amandas uncle, a singing police chief moonlighting at his greenhouse, incubates a deadly strain of locusts. When a hailstorm destroys the greenhouse, the locusts are released, and Amanda learns from the gypsies how to stop the pestilence. While still a teenager, Amanda and her painter-husband move to SoHo, New Yorks art mecca. Munk is her Svengali and master of drugs. After giving birth, she must take care of her erratic husband and her newborn, precipitating a psychotic break. But her fortune changes as she spies on gypsy workers in the factory next door. Why do they wear hairnets and baby blue dresses when the candy factory has long since closed? Why are they rustling through stacks of letters and bringing coffin-sized trunks into the dark recesses of the factory? Amandas world is dangerous-her psychic gift of seeing omens in everyday occurrences shows her how to capture the love she searches for-one with consequences she could never imagine. GINNY MACKENZIE is a poet, fiction writer and translator. Her stories and novel excerpts have appeared in New Letters, Crab Orchard Review, Wisconsin Review, Taarts III (anthology) and the American Literary Review.

Simon Van Booy, novelist and winner of the Frank OConnor International Short Story Award says: Sleeping with Gypsies is a beautifully written book that holds the reader spellbound like a fly in amber.
