'A masterpiece' Daily Mail

'Will still be read with pleasure and absorption decades from now' Spectator

'A wonder-work: irresistible, tense, deeply moving' Sunday Times

'An extraordinary book' Independent on Sunday

A chance sighting on a bus; a letter which should never have been read; a pianist with a secret that touches the heart of her music . . . AN EQUAL MUSIC is a book about love, about the love of a woman lost and found and lost again; it is a book about music and how the love of music can run like a passionate fugue through a life. It is the story of Michael, of Julia, and of the love that binds them.

'A novel that can stand being reread and reread, but the first time round is an emotional cliffhanger ... secure a copy for yourself, settle down, and prepare for the unforgettable' Sunday Times
