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.

I just finished reading this novel for the second time, and found my experience of it even richer and more deeply moving than the first time I read it. My admiration and respect for the vision and craft of Louise Erdrich, if not boundless, is at least many orders of magnitude greater than that which I bear for any other living writer. If you have not yet read this book, I highly recommend doing so.
