“Colum McCann has a talent for creating rich, real characters, and Zoli is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. Growing up a gypsy during WWII, Zoli is hounded first by fascists and then by communists. She turns to singing to express her grief and that of her people . . . and then the world discovers her. Suspended between international acclaim and the distrust of her own people, Zoli searches for a space in which to live and to create. Her journey is fraught with grief, danger and heartbreak, but ends in love—a wonderful story.”—Beth, Third Street Books, McMinnville. Buy Zoli from Third Street Books.
