| book description |

A gorgeous, Gothic, Romany coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the 1980s Southern Ontario tobacco beltâ€”with a dash of magic realism. Longing for glamour and riches and freedom, Zelda is a young woman who chafes against her Romany identity and her family's poverty. Everything changes when sheâ€™s lured away from working alongside her mother and aunts and other migrant workersÂ in the tobacco fields and is hired as an assistant and good luck charm to the charismatic Trixie Tormentine. What starts out as a summer of ease and access to the unfettered wealth of the Tormentinesâ€”Trixie's husband Jack owns the tobacco farm that employs Zelda's family and friendsâ€”unspools into dangerous displays of power and manipulation. One of the Romany family's puppets, grandmother Puri Dai, acts as Zelda's confidante and mentor, and warns her about the devil of the tobacco fields, a harbinger of destruction. As Zelda struggles with her simmering feelings toward the Tormentines, the devil appears to her one night in a motel parking lot. Can Puri Dai's love pull Zelda back from the brink and into a new future? The fate of her family depends on it.
