The Year the Gypsies Came by Linzi Glass

1.0

As if reading a book about Apartheid Africa wasn't already dark and depressing enough, Linzi Glass felt compelled to add a totally dysfunctional family for the main character, an abusive family for the supporting character, a shaken-baby resulting in a mentally handicapped young man who rapes the main character's sister, who then dies, and a mysterious murder resulting in body parts being found in the lake where they all go rowing. The only thing she's missing is incest! Don't read this book, it's not worth it.
