Beautiful, thoughtful … sharp and scintillatingly sensual
*Independent*
Zoli is such a wonderful novel. McCann is as fine, and persuasive a
storyteller as any other working in English today
*Scotsman*
If a writer’s higher calling is to imagine what it is to be
“other”, then Colum McCann is a giant amongst us – fearless,
huge-hearted, a poet with every living breath
*Peter Carey*
McCann has offered us an unforgettable picture of this world
*Scotland on Sunday*
A wonderful novel … McCann is as fine, and persuasive, a
storyteller as any other working in English today
*Scotsman*
With this haunting, poetic work McCann has surely earned his place
among the country’s greats
*Metro*
Zoli is an assiduously crafted and beautifully haunting story of
Europe from one of Ireland’s very best novelists. Every book from
Colum McCann extends his range and excavates new territories. He is
an audacious and wonderfully skilled writer
*Joseph O'Connor*
There is great warmth in the novel, sparked by the author’s genuine
sense of commitment to this woman in both her actual and fictional
forms. The story of Zoli deserves to be told, and with his gift for
unpicking the seams of history, McCann brings to the fore its sad
keynotes of manipulation and betrayal
*Irish Times*
