{ "character": "Alice", "review": "Ms. Hecht's wit is truly unsurpassed. Her look at life is not only refreshing, but insightful as well. The narrator frequently expresses thoughts that we've all had but would never admit to. Her treatment of even the most mundane aspects of life is often hilarious, a prime illustration being when she hears the neighbor's boys arguing and hears one child refer to the other a certain offensive curse; she feels offended not because one child cursed the other, but because he used a verb incorrectly as a noun! In an era where we all appear to be taking our lives a bit too seriously, this novel provides a welcomed respite. Anyone who has ever lived in Manhattan should be able to truly appreciate this work. It won't 'probe your soul' but it will make you smile.", "title": "A superbly refreshing novel." }

She finds the tensions, the delicacies and the warmth of this piece. Add to that, the Sarasate is also beautifully done -- sorry it was so short a piece. On the second CD, the Mackenzie and the McEwen, not heard that often, are also really well done. This isn't fiddling -- you get true classical versions of the folk tunes hidden in these selections. Because of that, Barton Pine brings out nuances that were never before explored, and she does it by showing you just how good, how rich, this music can be. The final piece, Barton Pine's arrangement of scottish tunes, is also enjoyable --a fun way to end an album that is both relaxing and delightful.
