Cushla, Memoirs of a Reluctant Gypsy Girl
$20.00
Living with Gypsies! What could be worse! Kathleen couldn’t imagine, until her father decided to take up bare-knuckle boxing as a way to earn money to get them back to Belfast. Conditions in post-war Ireland were bad enough to force skilled men like Jim McKenna and his daughter Kathleen to walk from town to town, sleeping in meadows and under bridges, in search of work. Meeting up with gypsies gave them a roof over their head and food in their bellies if they didn’t mind thieving to get it.
