About the book
Set in the present day, with flashbacks, An Equal Music is a story about deafness, the perils of excessive love, the curious matter of nationality and how it affects lives and relationships.

This is a book that carries you along. Those members without a musical background felt they missed out but the majority found the portrayal of a group working together realistic. The different personalities were well developed and engaged one’s interest.

Review by Entre Nous
Mixed opinions – some thought it was the best book they’d ever read. One person was irritated by it and didn’t finish it! Most thoroughly enjoyed it – good discussion for reading groups.
Star rating: *** and a half
