Listened to the audio version. While this is mostly a reflection on the authors search for a connection to and understanding of his family’s past, it also veers off into the history of the accordion and some different types of accordion music. It didn’t always flow smoothly, and the audio version would have been improved by a playlist but I found it interesting and appreciated the raw honesty the author brought to the story of his family’s migrant experience.

Very heavy but very profound. This truly reads like a eulogy or corrido. There are some extremely beautiful and poetic passages and you can really feel the emotion on the page. It also gives a deep look into the forgotten parts of Mexico where indigenous peoples still face violence, discrimination, and loss in unfathomable numbers.
Seeing Noe fill in his missing ancestral story in a raw and emotional way really stays with you.

His reflections on heritage and the ways we carry the past inside us are beautiful. The history of the accordion is much more interesting than I thought, and reading this makes me want to see some live music and dance.
