The Master Butcher's Singing Club

Louise Erdrich


Having survived WWI, Fidelis Waldvogel returns home to his quiet German village and marries the pregnant widow of his best friend who was killed in action. Fidelis sets out for America and settles in Argus, ND. He works hard, builds a business, a family, and singing clubs. When Delphine Watzka, a daughter of Argus, meets Fidelis, the ground trembles and the encounter changes their lives.
