A review by celiapowell
An Equal Music by Vikram Seth

4.0

This is one of my favourite books, I think - it's about Michael, a violinist, his lost love Julia, and what happens when he meets her again years later. It's also about music, and love, and betrayal, and musicians. Michael can be a terribly unsympathetic character at times - but still you hope that he will find happiness, or at least peace with himself. My favourite part of this book is how the classical music is described - it makes me want to listen to everything he mentions (particularly Bach's Art of Fugue).
