has anyone seen this book around?

ZOLI
by Colum Mcann

from the back of the book:
Zoli Novotna, a young woman raised in the traveling gypsy tradition, is a poet by accident as much as desire. A fascism spreads over 1930's czechoslovakia, zoli and her grandfather flee to join a clan of fellow Romani harpists. sharpened and inspired by reading books, which are frowned upon in the Romani tradition, Zoli becomes the symbol of a supposedly brave new world of tolerance in the soviet union. ....but as zoli's fame grows and her poetic skills deepen, the ruling communists begin to use her for their own repressive purposes. ...


(i didn't put all of what it says on the back)


I thought it was a great book, definatly left me wanting more, at least by the same author...
