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.

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

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

‘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
