Author: Annie Proulx
Title: Accordion Crimes
Description: Fourth Estate 1997 Paperback, 544pp. E. Annie Proulx's 'Accordion Crimes' is a masterpiece of storytelling that spans a century and a continent. Proulx brings the immigrant experience in America to life through the eyes of the descendants of Mexicans, Poles, Africans, Irish-Scots, Franco-Canadians and many others, all linked by their successive ownership of a simple green accordion. The music they make is their last link with the past -- voice for their fantasies, sorrows and exuberance. Proulx's prodigious knowledge, unforgettable characters and radiant language make 'Accordion Crimes' a stunning novel, exhilarating in its scope and originality. (ISBN: 9781857025750). Good.
