A review by kath61
An Equal Music by Vikram Seth

3.0

To be immersed in the narrow world of a string quartet is an experience that the author manages to depict in startling detail. The sensitivities and foibles of classical string players as well as their deep connection to their instruments are integral to the story. Lesser themes are treated with detail and emotional richness. However, I found the main theme of a passionate and often destructive love affair rekindled quite suddenly after ten years rather unpleasant as well as somewhat unlikely.
