"In America, just as in Europe, there are gypsies. In America, however, no effort has been made to recognize them. Yugoslavia has special schools for gypsies, and has instituted a ban on travel; in England, special camping sites have been established in an effort to achieve stability. but in America, gypsies are the invisible minority. Though many gypsies worldwide have come to believe that change is both inevitable and desirable, others, even here in America, fight to hold on to the old ways. No Certain Time details that fight. A gypsy family becomes entangled with the welfare system when the father is unable to continue in the family business. The gypsies struggle against the bureaucracy to hold on to their tradition and freedom, and their social worker puts her job on the line in their defense. the family locks horns with the schools over their daughter's education. Ultimately, they are summoned to court, where they vigorously attempt to out-confuse the legal system. No Certain Time is a novel about culture shock, about the inexorable swallowing up of a sub-culture by the mainstream, and the inevitable pain and confusion that result." Listing updated 7-18-2006.
