"London tea
merchant, Marc Garneau faces bankruptcy and debtor’s prison unless he can
retrieve his inheritance from war-torn France.
Marc’s brother, a secret Huguenot still living in their small French village, agrees to help him spirit the money into a Dutch bank account. In spite of the dangers to both of them, they agree to meet in Holland.
Travel in 18th century Europe entails perils enough without having an attractive, young daughter of marriageable age in tow. Nevertheless, when an unscrupulous London moneylender threatens his wife and children, Marc decides to take them along on his quest. As the tea merchant and his family set off for Europe, both father and daughter face challenges that will change their lives forever.
Part historical adventure and part coming-of-age, “Night of the Gypsies” brings to life the next generation in this French Huguenot family saga."
