Publisher's Summary
With a suitcase full of sausages and a master butcher's precious set of knives, Fidelis sets out for America, getting as far as Argus, North Dakota, where he settles, building a business and a home for his family, which now includes Eva and four sons, and a singing club consisting of the best voices in town.
What happens when the Old World meets the New, in the person of Delphine Watzka, becomes one of the great adventures of Fidelis's life. 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 new novel in which Louise Erdrich creates a world filled with memorable characters who grapple with the worst and best of human nature.

Poetic Prose is Erdrich’s Gift to Readers
Another beautifully written novel. I didn’t enjoy this one as much as Erdrich’s stories of American Indians but that is my personal preference.

Terrible Audio Quality
The audio quality is horrible. Some parts are cleanly recorded, other parts are barely audible.
The volume comes in and out like it was recorded through a phone call.
There's a lot of static and other audio artefacts. Audible generally has well recorded books, this one is a waste of money.
Otherwise the performance and storytelling is fantastic.
