Mikey Walsh - Gypsy Boy on the Run (Unabridged) (2011)

“It’s a revelation. Moving, terrifying, funny and brilliant. I shall never forget it” - (Stephen Fry on Gypsy Boy)

“An incredible story of a unique life. It would have been easy to descend into a “misery memoir”, but Mikey tells the story with humour and no self-pity. It’s so intense you might miss your bus stop. One of the most moving books you will read this year.” - (Heat Magazine *****)

Duration: 8 hours 45 minutes

Narrator: Mikey Walsh

This is my own 128 kbps rip of the unabridged 8 CD Clipper Audio retail version - not the Audible.com poor quality download.

There are 62 Amazon.uk reviews so far and every single of them gives the book a 5 star rating.

Enjoy!

Product Description

Mikey is a Romany Gypsy and grew up living in a caravan on sites across the UK.

He adored his family and the rich and vibrant Romany culture he’d inherited. Eventually though he was forced to make a heartbreaking decision - to stay and keep secrets, or escape and find somewhere to finally belong.

But Mikey quickly discovers that life in the outside world isn’t all he expected.

After learning his father had put a contract out on him and that he was being hunted down by gangs of thugs determined to claim their reward, Mikey realises that life will never be the same again.

Brimming with unforgettable characters, this extraordinary coming-of-age story will remind you that sometimes it takes courage (and the odd Disney song) to be the person you were meant to be.

Prepare to get funny looks from fellow passengers on public transport as you alternate between crying and punching the air in triumph.

Mikey’s story will leave you full of awe and admiration at how a person can go through so much at such a young age and come through the other side not only sane, but a good person.

At an age when most of us are studying for our GCSEs and thinking about who to snog, Mikey was alone, on the run and fighting for survival.

The strength and the spirit of Mikey shone through in the brilliant Gypsy Boy and continues to shine even brighter in Gypsy Boy on the Run. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Unforgettable Memoir…

Gypsy Boy On The Run in part acts as a sequel to Mikey Walsh’s bestseller Gypsy Boy, bringing the reader up to date with his extraordinary life whilst expanding on threads only hinted at in the first book.

Readers new to Walsh’s work won’t be alienated, as there’s also a condensed history of the events that led him to make his way as a Gypsy man in the Gorgia (non-Gypsy) world from the age of fifteen.

It’s sprinkled throughout with digressions on his childhood of the kind that made Gypsy Boy such a poignant memoir.

It’s impossible to conceive of two worlds more different than the Romany Gypsy community and the gay scene of Manchester.

Yet the collision between the two, and how Mikey Walsh left one and became part of the other, forms the early part of the book.

It’s a universal tale of looking for belonging and searching for peace; overcoming enormous obstacles and setbacks through sheer strength of character.

There are other stories too; of Leeds, London and drama school, threaded into the picaresque narrative of Walsh’s life like part of a tapestry.

It’s populated along the way with unforgettable friends, and foes that leave him forever looking over his shoulder, wondering when he next has to start a new life once again.

Told with courageous honesty; a keen eye for humour and the wisdom that only comes from a life well-lived and possession of a reflective soul; Gypsy Boy On The Run is as vibrant and memorable as its precursor.

Fans of Walsh’s first book will love it, and new readers will treasure discovering his unique world but distinctive personality that has already resonated with a wide readership.

It’s an ardent defence of and rare insight into an enigmatic culture and people, told from the inside.

It’s time to allow Mikey Walsh to tell you the next part of his story, and to become hopelessly hooked all over again; not just on the vivid worlds he describes, but on the wit, perception and passion of the author.

This Book is the Definition of a ‘Must Read’…

A wonderful book that documents one young man’s struggle to live his life true to himself.

While Mr Walsh’s journey was often difficult and beset by rejection, never once does he descend into self-pity.

Rather the reverse - this is a book that contains a great deal of joy and, upon reading it, one is reminded just how remarkable the human spirit can be and just how important the smallest act of kindness can become.

As an English teacher of many years, I take the recommendation of certain books very seriously.

It was with the greatest ease that I found myself imploring my Upper School students to dedicate a portion of their holidays to reading both this book and its forbear.

If nothing else, they will learn the importance of tolerance, kindness and acceptance. Job done.

Likewise, I implore you all to invest the time to get to know Mikey Walsh. It’ll be worth it!
