When it comes to choosing a book for your next meeting, there's really no better recommendation than one from another reader or book club member. Here's what people are saying about An Equal Music by Vikram Seth:
  • "I don't know much about music but the way that Mr. Seth describes the quartet, I could almost hear the strength of the music through the words." --Kristin T., Lake Havasu City, AZ

  • "I am captivated by the strangely pleasant combinations of words and the very real sense of alone-ness conveyed by this enchanting novel. The first-person's innermost thoughts billow toward the raeder with great force--the longing, obsession, compulsion, and madness of isolation mirror the deaf world he cannot wish to inhabit. I couldn't put it down. Beautifully written." --Melissa L., Franklin, TN

  • "This book was mesmerizing. Even though the music language went over my head, I felt like I'd entered the quartet's private world. At times I thought Michael was a real twit, but I still enjoyed the world he lives in." -- udy R., Cedar Rapids, IA

  • "Disappointing--especially after A Suitable Boy. The story never takes off, the passion never happens. I was intrigued with the title, the subject, thought the music references would be interesting. The music references are the best part." --Janet Z., Lake Oswego, CA
