A wild and bittersweet adventure into a world none but Machvaia Gypsies know - Susan Sarandon Gypsies in America are hidden. With estimates between fifty thousand and over a million, the Gypsy population is as mysterious as their ways, and vast amounts of misinformation swirl around them. Lola's Luck peers behind the curtain, past the paisley walls and twinkling lights to find an "expert advisor on love, business and marriage." Lola's Luck introduces a remarkable woman who drew a young anthropologist into her colorful society, changing her life. A true story of luck, kinship, love and an entire world hidden from view, Lola's Luck is a stunning personal memoir of life among the Gypsies of America. Here is a fresh response to the stereotypes that surround a traditional culture trying to keep itself alive in the face of American values. In the end, it is Lola's story-"the story of the world!"-that is riveting. Hand on hip, heart as big as the widest space, a Gypsy, yes, and a Queen.

Lola's Luck: My Life among the California Gypsies
I read this when I was writing my first novel. I wanted details about gypsy culture. Some understandings outside of the dictionary, the stories of friends, or the Internet. This author offered a closer view of one family. Miller's spirit and recall of cultural details, white and Machvaian, were addicting. I identified with her dilemma heavily from my days studying anthropological ethnography in university. Those advanced courses cast a new light of comprehension on the entire book for me.
Reading about her willful penetration into the lives of an exclusive culture made me cringe, but also feel sad for her experience. In total, I'm sure that Miller looks back and regrets nothing- and in the same way, I only remember this novel fondly- as summertime immersion in a New Mexico library's rose garden. Some lines are better to cross than stand there staring at the rest of your life.
I throughly enjoyed this- thanks for writing it.
