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 – by her own people, and, for the first time, by the world outside their circle.     But Zoli has become an instrument herself – 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 alone…‘A hymn to specificity, a clamour against homogenisation … With each voice McCann performs an astonishing feat’ Richard Eyre, Guardian  ‘A writer of large and driving vision … Zoli contains passages of stunning lyricism and sharp ironic force’ New York Times  ‘Poetic and beautifully observed’ Daily Telegraph","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51509581414688,"sku":"9781037204227","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781037204227_2456870.jpg?v=1776938125","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/zoli-colum-mccann-9781037204227","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
