Strongman Publishing, UK, 2010. Softcover. New. 262 pages. Available Now. Book Description: Sequel/Prequel to Gypsies Stop tHere, Wakerly's first novel published 2008. Both books can standalone but are connected. Back cover reads: Two years have passed since Kay successfully campaigned for the Appley Green Gypsy Site,and four years since her husband was murdered. Life in the village was going so well until the phone call and letter. Then comes the disastrous site opening. Worst of all, Dunstan, whom she realises is her best friend and ally, is giving her the cold shoulder for some unknown reason. Dunstan is taking an emotional trip down memory lane, into childhood as a Gypsy on the road, and his eventual break from his people. Why is he so angry with Kay that he keeps away from her? Chances of a longed for reconciliation look slim ... : Review: 'Wakerly's books do a wonderful job in helping to promote understanding where there is ignorance and tolerance where there is bigotry. I recommend them heartily. Few of us even try to understand gypsies and their way of life. Our knee-jerk reaction usually goes no further than 'not in my backyard', as I discovered first hand when a family of gypsies arrived in a village near where I live last year. The immediate reaction among the residents was a mixture of alarm and resentment. In Miriam Wakerly's Gypsies Stop tHere and its sequel No Gypsies Served it's refreshing to see gypsies portrayed as individual people like the rest of us, making their way in life the best way they can. Reading this compelling story brings home the fact that it's perfectly possible for gypsies to be accepted successfully into our communities.' --Sue Cook, Broadcaster and Writer 'A vivid and imaginative interrogation of human relationships in the context of the relations between Travellers and English country people, and a worthy sequel to Gypsies Stop Here.' --Thomas Acton, OBE, Professor of Romani Stiudies, University of Greenwich .' --Various: Kay is both gutsy and pragmatic while her friendship with Dunstan, the generous-hearted gardener and all-round good guy, has a teasing 'will they, won't they?' quality about it. Dunstan is a strong, impressive character in his own right and it's fitting that Wakerly uses his heart-piercing struggle for acceptance and reconciliation as the basis for No Gypsies Served. (Extract) Reviewer: Juliette Foster --Surrey Life Magazine 2014: 'Miriam Wakerly's books Gypsies Stop tHere and No Gypsies Served are a window to the bigotry that a race of people in the UK still experience. Textbooks illustrating statistics of what racism is like are all well and good but what Wakerly adds is an accessible and readable 'way in' to the situation for the general reader, and the storytelling approach reinforces we are talking about real people here, not statistics. I would recommend that people read these books as a reflection of the reality of contemporary Britain.' --Dr John Coxhead, Author of Last Bastion of Racism : About the Author: Many articles and short stories published in magazines. No Gypsies Served is Miriam Wakerly's second published novel. She has a BA Degree in Combined Studies (English, French, Sociology and Politics)from Leicester University and is a member of the Society of Authors. a non-Gypsy she has studied the subject and gives talks.
