Zoli
āA great book and a marvellously crafted storyā Roddy Doyle
____________________________________
Zoli Novotna is a poet by accident as much as desire. As Fascism spreads over Czechoslovakia, she and her grandfather flee an unspeakable loss to join a clan of fellow Romani harpists. As Zoli shapes the ancient songs to her times, she finds her gift embraced ā by her own people, and, for the first time, by the world outside their circle.
But Zoli has become an instrument herself ā wielded by the hands of the powerful. And her greatness in her art will see her severed and exiled from the people and tradition she loves, setting her on a path she must tread aloneā¦
āA hymn to specificity, a clamour against homogenisation ā¦ With each voice McCann performs an astonishing featā Richard Eyre, Guardian
āA writer of large and driving vision ā¦ Zoli contains passages of stunning lyricism and sharp ironic forceā New York Times
āPoetic and beautifully observedā Daily Telegraph
āA great book and a marvellously crafted storyā Roddy Doyle
