Definitively the kind of piece I'd like to hear on the radio. Both Michelle and her father are consumed with the struggle to make "order out of chaos" and the jigsaw puzzles become a symbol of as well the literal place where their struggles meet. It's a look at puzzles of all kinds--one woman's relationship with her father reveals a host of other truths about family and divorce, about tradition and what it does or doesn't mean, and ultimately about what lasts--what survives the failures of love. Eloquently, wittily and compellingly structured, told and scored.
