Helpful Score: 4

This is my favorite Annie Proulx book. She follows an accordian as it is passed down, sold, stolen, etc. through the span of a century and across a continent. There is something magical about following one item as it passes through the hands of different characters - it's such an interesting way to approach a story. Now, whenever I buy something at the antique store or at a garage sale, I can't help but wonder where has it been before and what story does this object have to tell.
