More than anything, this book is about love, and loss, and pain, and love. Love wins out over all of it, comes unbidden, brings us people we didn’t ask for, sticks us to people we wish we could abandon.

How does this colour the life of a young Master Butcher travelling to the States from Germany? How does it affect the daughter of the town drunk? How could their lives possibly overlap?

Love, music, meat, liquor, children, friendship… it all comes together in The Master Butcher’s Singing Club. And it all comes apart again too…
