From National Book Award-winning, New York Times-bestselling author Louise Erdrich, a profound and enchanting new novel: a richly imagined world “where butchers sing like angels.”

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.

Despite the intriguing title, the main character of this book is Delphine, a lonely girl in North Dakota looking for love and connection. It is her story of loss and longing, her devotion to friends, lovers, children and her drunk father. The male choir does figure strongly in the shape of Fidelis, a master butcher emigrating from Germany after WW1. With hard work and a knack for making sausages, he builds a life for his large family, and introduces the tradition of singing. The alienation felt by these German immigrants to their new lives in the remote open American landscape is immersively described. The novel was richly imagined and full of flawed but colourful characters, events and unforeseen developments - never a dull minute and I enjoyed it immensely.

Richly imagined and full of colourful characters and unforeseen developments - never a dull minute!
