A review by jessalynn_librarian
An Equal Music by Vikram Seth

4.0

Warning: reading this book will make you want to hear all the music they talk about. The story really conveys the feel of the music, and the life of a musician - but it's also one of those books where the main character gets slightly obsessive, and you go along for the ride. And you start to feel slightly crazy as a result. At one point, a secret was revealed about one character (you knew something was coming but you didn't know what) and I actually went back and reread several chapters to find all the clues that I knew were there. A good, engrossing read for when you want a grown-up story - or one that's absorbed in the world of chamber music.
