i read a book in 1982, age 15, which was for this age group.

a young girl lived with her mother in a flat in a big city, poss london.

her father who was from the traveller community, had died in

tragic circumstances.

i think the author was female & the book at the time was

recently published.

any ideas?

Could be "The Diddakoi" by Rumer Godden, which would have been about 10 years old when you read it. Have a look on Amazon - the synopsis doesn't really fit what you remember, but it's a possible. Good luck.
