Miranda Siemienowicz writes, "In 'The Concert Pianist's Flight' by Carole Rosenthal the break with realism is almost complete. The concrete facts-- a musician's career and his indispensable spouse--fade into the background behind an incredible palette of language. The interaction between the partners is described with a visceral tactile approach that draws the reader towards the incredible concluding image."
