An Equal Music - Vikram Seth

My knowledge of music is perhaps as deep and as wide as the ripples formed by an autumn leaf falling on a gushing river but this book does a really wonderful job of weaving in the music with the rest of the story and thus making it a lucid read. Vikram Seth plays his strings really well while telling the story of two people who are brought together by their love for music and are separated because of it. When they do run into each other after several years, lots of things have changed and past the point of no return. The story of an unfulfilled love told exquisitely by Vikram Seth.
