    About this audiobook

    This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

    In the shadow of his soldier father's postings, young George hungered for a life beyond barracks and routine. Languages swirled around him - English, Gaelic, Romany - each whispering of distant lands and hidden lore. yearning for escape, he found solace in ancient tongues and the open road. But his journey held more than just winding paths and fleeting encounters. It led him to the heart of the Romani people, their vibrant culture a stark contrast to the rigid world he left behind. Would he embrace their nomadic ways, or forge his own path? "Lavengro," a tale of wanderlust, language, and the unyielding spirit of a young man seeking his place in the world.
