Accordion Crimes is a masterful novel by E. Annie Proulx that spans a century and a continent. The story begins in 1890 in Sicily, as an accordion maker completes his finest instrument before emigrating to New Orleans, where he is murdered. From there, the accordion passes through the hands of various immigrants seeking a better life in America, serving as their last link to their past and traditions.
With daring storytelling and heartbreaking characters, Proulx explores themes of identity, survival, and the struggles of immigrants in a often harsh culture. This stunning novel, celebrated for its scope and originality, captures the fantasies, sorrows, and exuberance of those trying to forge a future in a new land, as the music of the accordion evolves alongside their lives.
