Publisher Comments:

Having survived World War I, Fidelis Waldvogel returns to his quiet German village and marries the pregnant widow of his best friend, killed in action. With a suitcase full of sausages and a master butcher's precious knife set, Fidelis sets out for America. In Argus, North Dakota, he builds a business, a home for his family—which includes Eva and four sons—and a singing club consisting of the best voices in town. When the Old World meets the New—in the person of Delphine Watzka—the great adventure of Fidelis's life begins. Delphine meets Eva and is enchanted. She meets Fidelis, and the ground trembles. These momentous encounters will determine the course of Delphine's life, and the trajectory of this brilliant novel.

Incredible novel! Epic in its sweep, with fascinating characters, strong plot and delicious prose. My mom felt so strongly about the book that she bought it for me -- and she's a librarian who doesn't buy a lot of fiction! I can't wait to read more books by Louise Erdrich.
