Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The author of the international bestseller A Suitable Boy returns with a powerful and deeply romantic tale of two gifted musicians. Michael Holme is a successful violinist, part of the famous Maggiore Quartet. He has long been haunted, though, by memories of the beautiful pianist he loved ten years earlier, Julia McNicholl. Then one day Julia comes back into his life: married now, with a small child and a devastating secret. The romance flares up once more, as Julia agrees to tour Vienna and Venice with Michael and the Quartet. Against the magical backdrop of concert halls and canals, Michael and Julia confront the truth about themselves, their love, and the music that both unites and divides them. A tour de force of romance and a superb picture of the international music scene, An Equal Music confirms Vikram Seth as one of the world's finest and most enticing writers. Review:"A beautifully written novel of music, romance, and the endless search for transcendent passion....A joy to read." The Baltimore Sun Review:"Seth depicts, with Canaletto-like skill, the shimmering air and light of Venice at dawn, even as he neatly reproduces the loving tensions of the Maggiore [Quartet]." The Washington Post Review:"A gift for any reader and a must-read for music lovers and musicians." The Christian Science Monitor Synopsis:Against the magical backdrops of Venice and Vienna, two lovers confront the truth about themselves and their love, about the music that both unites and divides them, and about a devastating secret that one of them must reveal.
