Gypsies, tramps and thieves!

I really got caught up in this novel. Set in the turbulent 1970's in Portugal, most of it takes place in a small coastal village, where strange people and strange things abound... Not as truly strange as Louis de Bernieres (sp?) -- this has more of a subtle dreamlike/fable quality that I really enjoyed.A really good first novel. Looking forward to seeing more from Dearing.
