| book description |

â€˜A great book and a marvellously crafted storyâ€™ 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 â€“ by her own people, and, for the first time, by the world outside their circle. But Zoli has become an instrument herself â€“ 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 aloneâ€¦ â€˜A hymn to specificity, a clamour against homogenisation â€¦ With each voice McCann performs an astonishing featâ€™ Richard Eyre, Guardian â€˜A writer of large and driving vision â€¦ Zoli contains passages of stunning lyricism and sharp ironic forceâ€™ New York Times â€˜Poetic and beautifully observedâ€™ Daily Telegraph
