“A seminal work”: review
The Midwest Book Review’s Dec. 2015 “Bookwatch” includes an excellent review of Liz Doherty’s The Cape Breton Fiddle Companion (CBU Press 2015).
Margaret Lane writes that the Companion is “impressively well researched, exceptionally written, deftly organized, and accessibly presented … and inherently fascinating … that would well serve as a template for similar studies…. A seminal work of outstanding scholarship from beginning to end….”
“Highly recommended….”
We’re breathless!
Also, Liz recently received the following personal comments from other readers: “…such a wonderful gift to all those who are interested in Cape Breton fiddle music. Your introduction is so sensitive, profound and rich in information and interpretation….” “Thank you so much for this precious document!”
And, from a well-known Cape Breton music aficionado: “Congratulations on a masterpiece of cultural identity that few could have put together.”
Nice notes to end the year on!
