Accordion Eulogies: A Memoir of Music, Migration, and Mexico by Noé Álvarez

4.5

adventurous reflective medium-paced

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.
