I just loved this - more fun with the intertwined lives of the residents of Morningside Heights. ( )

This is the third installment of the Morningside Heights trilogy, an entertaining series about the lives and loves of overeducated, artsy-fartsy and excruciatingly analytical residents of upper Manhattan. These are old-fashioned books with an omniscient narrator and a keen attention to social mores – a blend of Jane Austen and Woody Allen, if you will. All the books feature the same characters; this one is about the overindulged daughter of a pair of musicians and her involvement with the son of their cleaning lady. The plot gets a little outlandish toward the end, but it’s still a good read. ( )
