Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Gypsy by Lesley Pearse, read by Heather Bleasdale.
Gypsy is a compelling historical story of survival from international number one best-selling author Lesley Pearse.
Liverpool, 1893, and tragedy sends Beth Bolton on a journey far from home....
Fifteen-year-old Beth's dreams are shattered when she, her brother, Sam, and her baby sister, Molly, are orphaned. Sam believes that only in America can they make their fortunes, so, reluctantly leaving Molly with adoptive parents, brother and sister embark on the greatest adventure of their lives.
Onboard the steamer to New York, there are rogues aplenty. But Beth's talent with the fiddle earns her the nickname Gypsy - and the friendship of charismatic gambler Theo and sharp-witted Londoner Jack. And after dodging trouble across America, finally the foursome head for the dangerous mountains of Canada and the Klondike River in search of gold.
How far must Beth go to find happiness? And will her travels lead this gypsy to a place she can call home?

Wonderful story .
This book had a very interesting content taking you to many places of interest beautifully fashioned in layers. The characters all where multifaceted which took you through with them not quite knowing what would happen next . Very satisfying .

One of my favourite books
I’ve read this book so many times it’s one of my favourite comfort reads, and the audiobook version is just as good. The narration is very expressive without being over the top and the accents aren’t too exaggerated which I sometimes have an issue with.
The only criticism I have is that there are a couple of racist descriptions eg. “Sam looked yellow as a chinaman in the lamplight” and a POC woman as having a “smile as wide as a watermelon”. I assume this is to show the tone of the era but they’re unnecessary tbh- but their aren’t many so don’t let that spoil the story.
The story is a great adventure with well-rounded characters, both main and minor. You really feel like you’re on the journey with them!
