Zoli by Colum McCann

Set against the backdrop of 20th-century Europe, this novel follows the life of a Romani woman as she navigates the challenges of her identity and the shifting political landscapes around her. From her early years in Slovakia, where she is nurtured by her grandfather's wisdom, to her rise as a celebrated poet and singer, her journey is marked by resilience and defiance. As she faces betrayal and exile, her story becomes a poignant exploration of cultural displacement, the power of art, and the enduring quest for belonging in a world that often marginalizes those who are different.
