Les crimes de l'accordéon
by Annie Proulx
Sicile, 1890. Un facteur d'accordéons met la touche finale à son plus bel instrument et s'embarque pour La Nouvelle-Orléans. Seul l'instrument survivra, en passant de mains en mains. Un grand nombre de destins vont ainsi se croiser, une mosaïque de cultures différentes : Français, Allemands, Mexicains, Polonais... dont le passé et les traditions sont incarnés par le folklore de l'accordéon.
