"This is the ideal book for reading in one sitting on a long, hot summer痴 evening when the ways of the world feel slowed and yet, somehow, more sharply focused" says ACHUKA Children's Books of The Year The Gypsies Came

In addition to bestowing their coveted 5-chicks upon The Year The Gypsies Came, ACHUKA Children's Books also graced Linzi with their praise.

"Linzi Alex Glass shows a real affinity for writing ethereal, poetic prose. She conjures indelible images that carry an almost overwhelming weight of nostalgia for childhood痴 transience. Here is writing that is seductively sensual, here is writing that is at once powerful, yet tender, here is a story that arises from a loose thread that once pulled leads one deeper and deeper to uncover layer upon layer of memory and self perception...a remarkable work."
