A review by jackieeh
An Equal Music by Vikram Seth
3.0
One of the reviewers described this book as "tense." I couldn't have come up with a better word myself. This book is about music and love. It is not a thriller. If I were to come across a thriller this tense I wouldn't know what to do with myself.
The music was great. The love story not so much. I would have been perfectly happy to read a book about a string quartet and their dynamics without all the adultery and long-lost-flame hoo hah. Not that this wasn't well-written. Or, you know, tense. But still.
I left this one in France, too, even though it was in pretty good condition. It just struck me as a really unhappy (not necessarily sad, just depressed) book and I really don't need to own a copy.
