2001 Longlist
An Equal Music
ABOUT
THE BOOK
In An Equal Music, his first novel since A Suitable Boy, Vikram Seth returns with a story both intricate and intimate, rich with music, art, humour and emotion. On one level, it is a story about love, love of a woman lost and found and lost again. A chance sighting on a London bus, a letter which should never have been read, a pianist with a secret that touches the heart of her music: from a multiplicity of details, Vikram Seth once again creates the illusion of life.
It is also a book about music and about how the love of music can run like a passionate theme through a life. Above all, it is a book to savour and re-read. By turns elegiac and witty, it introduces the reader to another facet of Vikram Seth’s unique talent.
