I throw back my tumble of black hair, roll one bare shoulder
forward. The stack of bangles on each wrist shimmies and
slides as my hands rise like birds in flight. Drina knows the men who love to watch her dance also believe
Gypsies are no better than stray dogs — but when she dances,
Drina doesn’t think. She forgets who she is. She forgets
what seems to be her legacy: I am nothing. I belong nowhere. The daughter of a Gypsy woman and a well-to-do Spaniard who
abandoned them, Drina wants only to dance. Why then does her
mother forbid it? Set during the chaos of the Spanish Civil War in the
fascinating world of Gypsy campgrounds, the vineyard estate
of the family she has never known and the dance halls of
Seville where flamenco reigns, Drina fights to discover who
she is and where she belongs. Can her passion — her duende —
save her from the perils of the civil war? From a father
lost, then found? And will she come to understand what it
means to be a bird with the heart of a mountain?
