«Zoli» is a historical romance novel by Colum McCann, published by Belfond (328 pages, in French).
In communist-era Czechoslovakia, a young Romani woman named Zoli survives a massacre and discovers her talent for writing. The poet Martin Stransky turns her into a symbol of the regime, but her encounter with the English translator Stephen Swann triggers a story of love, betrayal and exile that spans twentieth-century Europe.
The novel was originally published in 2006; this French edition appeared in 2007, translated from English (Ireland) by Jean-Luc Piningre.
For readers of historical romance fiction with an interest in twentieth-century Europe and Romani culture.
