INSPIRED by the TV series My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, Thame author, Kate Lace, decided to write a fictionalised account of the life of a traveller girl. The result, Gypsy Wedding, will be launched at The Cross Keys pub, in Thame.

The story involves Vicky, betrothed for nearly two years to Liam, and who should now be planning her big day. However she is more concerned with persuading her dad to let her go to college so she can learn dressmaking. Once there though, Vicky soon discovers that life on the trailer park and life outside are worlds apart. As the day approaches for her to walk down the aisle in her own spectacular dress, she?s no longer sure where she belongs or even if she?s marrying the right man.

Kate will be signing copies of Gypsy Wedding at the Cross Keys, on launch day, Thursday, August 4, between 6.30pm and 7.30pm- Everybody welcome!
