Composed of stories that follow the path of an accordion as it passes through the hands of various immigrants to the U.S, Accordion Crimes expresses the struggles of those living on the fringes of society. Brought to New Orleans in 1890 by its Sicilian maker and his young son, the accordion finds its way into the lives of Germans in Iowa, French Canadians in Maine, Mexicans in Texas, and so on. Imaginative, detailed, violent, and heartbreaking, Accordion Crimes will appeal to fans of Louise Erdrich.
