Seller's Description
This listing is for Golden Earrings Hardcover by Yolanda Foldes First Printing 1946.
Hardcover
Publisher: Morrow; First Edition edition (1946)
This book has quite a bit of charm especially in the first half when the relationship between the Colonel and Lydia is established. As it moves on, it seems to bog down in too much of the day to day of the tribe of gypsies as they travel together. I thought there was way too much about gypsy women being all over any man they were around. But, the story of the relationship between the Colonel and Lydia remained tender.
A light rendition of an Englishman's interlude in the gypsy world, when Ralph, a Colonel of 49, is taken in by the gypsy Lydia as he escapes from the Germans. He finds himself the object of limitless generosity and devotion, of Lydia's passion which gives him far more than he had ever found in his correct marriage, and he is amused by -- though not wholly approving- the gypsy code of amorality pertaining to deceit, bribery, guile- all without malice. He submits to Lydia's superstitions, potions, and ministrations even when they offend his sense of modern hygiene. He learns to tell fortunes for a living, mingles well with other gypsies (too well with their women folk), and finally is smuggled across the border to safety- England- and monotony of his marriage. A quiet humor here, a continental flavor- though it lacks the pace and story interest that makes Lady Eleanor Smith's romantic gypsy stories best sellers.
