This sprawling novel follows a single accordion as it passes through the hands of various owners, from its creation in Sicily to its journey across America. Each owner's story, often marked by hardship and hope, paints a vivid picture of immigrant life and the pursuit of the American dream. The instrument becomes a silent witness to a century of changing lives and landscapes.
