Description

Zoli begins in Czechoslovakia in the early 1930s, where a six-year-old Roma girl named Zoli faces the harsh reality of her people's persecution. Her parents and siblings were forced to stay on a frozen lake until the spring, when they drowned. As she grows up, Zoli finds solace in music and writing, becoming a singer in a gypsy company that preserves traditional culture. However, with the rise of the Nazis, the suppression of the Roma intensifies, leading to a devastating betrayal by someone close to her. This event sets Zoli on a journey that will take her to Italy and ultimately lead to a new life. Zoli is based on the true story of Papsuza, a Gypsy poet who was sentenced to exile for her writing. Colum McCann's novel brings this powerful story to life, exploring themes of betrayal, redemption, and the importance of storytelling.
