Language of Thieves by Elizabeth Jackson
It is 1949 Appleby, Westmorland, where two cultures collide: that of a local squire Tobias Flint and Daisy Latimer resident traveller girl. Trouble arises when the handsome gypsy, Roulson Adams, who after being rejected by the beautiful, unsophisticated Daisy, takes a terrible revenge. Then there is the psychotic behaviour of Lydia Flint, Tobias's mother, who despises the gypsies gathering for the forthcoming fair. How justice is finally done and love overcomes all barriers makes an unusual and compelling story.
Elizabeth Jackson, born one of six children in 1950 has lived in North Yorkshire all her life. She worked as a carpet salesperson whilst training to become a psychotherapist. Happily married for thirty five years, Elizabeth has six children and seven grandchildren. She drew inspiration for Language of Thieves from her mother who had fond memories of Appleby fair and regaled them with stories.
