The Accordionists Son

Beschreibung

As a young man, David divides his time between his uncle's ranch and his life in the village, where he reluctantly practices the accordion on the insistence of his authoritarian father. This title explores the life of David Imaz, a former inhabitant of the Basque village of Obaba, now living in exile and ill-health on a ranch in California.
