Returning to his quiet German village after World War I, trained killer and butcher Fidelis Waldvogel, accompanied by his new wife, starts a new life in America and finds his life irrevocably changed.

Pulitzer Prize winning author Louise's Erdrich's 8th novel is a panoramic exploration of "a world where butchers sing like angels." Erdrich tells the story of Fidelis Waldvogel, a WWI sniper and master butcher with a "talent for stillness" and for singing. After marrying Eva, the pregnant fiancée of his best friend, who was killed in the war, he emigrates to America carrying a suitcase full of butcher knives. Settling in Argus, North Dakota, he and Eva establish a butcher shop known for its Old World expertise and for housing Fidelis's beloved singing club. All of the virtues and themes of Erdrich's best works—her lyrical precision, bleakly beautiful North Dakota settings, deft interweaving of characters and subplots, and haunting evocation of love and its attendant mysteries—are on full display. 

One meeting: Monday, November 22, from 8:00-8:45 p.m. Registration required.

The Master Butchers Singing Club by Louise Erdrich is available in print, hoopla e-book and e-audiobook and OverDrive/Libby e-book and e-audiobook.
