Title : Zoli - Colum McCann - book
Summary :
A Roma poet with a fiery voice, Zoli fascinates those who approach her but remains elusive. Raised on the roads by her grandfather, who defied the Gypsy ban by teaching her to read and write, Zoli discovered the power of words at a very young age. But putting the history of her community on paper means handing it over to the gadz and a part of the gypsy soul. Adored by the communist regime before becoming an outcast, banished by her own people for having transgressed the rules, Zoli will pay a high price for her freedom...
A parable about exile, a praise of difference, Zoli is the journey of no return through Europe from the 1930s to the present day, of a woman with a ruthless will, and, through her, a hymn to the "wanderers of the world" who are desperately wanted to be tied to the earth.
