NO writing, marks or tears. 370 pages. - An unforgettable story of two boyhood friends that spans 30 years and sweeps from blue-blooded New England to Nazi-infested South America. The roles of Mac and Daniel have been that of uneasy follower and manipulative leader. But when they both fall for the same woman, adventure and cruel betrayal follow. From the Publisher Friendship. Love. Betrayal. Freedom. An often excruciating cycle we all must pass through at least once in our lives... Thomas William Simpson, the acclaimed author of This Way Madness Lies, has followed his debut novel with an extraordinary work of pure storytelling magic. The Gypsy Storyteller tells the tale of two young men whose lives, from the time of their births, seem to be fatefully linked. It is also the story of a devastating lovers' triangle spinning wildly out of control in America in the 1970s and '80s. Growing up in a wealthy New Jersey suburb, Matthew Chandler and Daniel Hawthorn seem to have a lot in common. They are, in fact, polar opposites, both emotionally and psychologically. Matthew descends from solid English stock, white Anglo-Saxon Protestant stuff right to the core. Daniel's mother, a direct descendant of Nathaniel Hawthorne, has managed to cast off her Puritan cloak, marrying a full-blooded Eastern European Gypsy whose family was annihilated during the Holocaust. While Matthew is preternaturally cautious, Daniel is relentlessly daring; Matthew plays by the rules, Daniel breaks them with gusto. Through a boyhood of wild, uproarious adventures that include jumping boxcars, a fatal stabbing, and an eye-opening, but frightening, trip to Europe in the company of Daniel's father, the boys' unlikely friendship endures... Until Matthew, herded off to boarding school by his parents, meets Rachel Ann Fredericks. Almost immediately, the straight line that has held Matthew and Daniel together for so many years transforms itself into a triangle. Beautiful, talented, free-spirited, Rachel forces a whole new dimension upon their lives, making them see that they can be enemies as easily as they can be allies. In The Gypsy Storyteller, Thomas William Simpson deftly explores the connections between friendship, love and betrayal. And through the sheer power of his prose he makes us believe that freedom, even the dream of freedom, is what ultimately hold
