"It's sort of as if you were reading Wuthering Heights & you became aware that the whole nature of the book would be to prove to Heathcliff & Catherine that they're not right for each other..What I found wonderful about THE WEIGHT OF A PIANO is that by the final chapter..the characters who are together are the characters who should be together."
