    Book Description

    Vikram Seth's novel is, at its core, a love story: Lata and her mother, Mrs. Rupa Mehra, are both trying to find -- through love or through exacting maternal appraisal -- a suitable boy for Lata to marry. Set in the early 1950s, in an India newly independent and struggling through a time of crisis, A Suitable Boy takes us into the richly imagined world of four large extended families and spins a compulsively readable tale of their lives and loves. A sweeping panoramic portrait of a complex, multiethnic society in flux, A Suitable Boy remains the story of ordinary people caught up in a web of love and ambition, humor and sadness, prejudice and reconciliation, the most delicate social etiquette and the most appalling violence. </p>

      Book Description

      Widely acclaimed as one of the world's greatest living writers, Vikram Seth -- author of the international bestseller A Suitable Boy -- tells the heartrending true story of a friendship, a marriage, and a century. Weaving together the strands of two extraordinary lives -- Shanti Behari Seth, an immigrant from India who came to Berlin to study in the 1930s, and Helga Gerda Caro, the young German Jewish woman he befriended and later married -- Two Lives is both a history of a violent era seen through the eyes of two survivors and an intimate, unforgettable portrait of a complex, abiding love. </p>

      Can 690 sonnets, rhyming a-b-a-b-c-c-d-d-e-f-f-e-g-g, be a novel? Definitely! First published in 1986 and still fresh (the sole sign of its publication date being the frequent use of the word yuppie), Vikram Seth's The Golden Gate will turn the verse-fearing into admiring acolytes. Janet Hayakawa, a yet-to-be-discovered sculptor and drummer in the Liquid Sheep, secretly places a personal ad for her friend John, even though she too is single. "Only her cats provide distraction,/Twin paradigms of lazy action." The seventh letter does the trick. Lawyer Liz Donati's submission is two sonnets in toto and disarms John into meeting her. Soon they fall into brief bliss, as do her brother, Ed, and John's old college roommate, Phil. Unfortunately, the first couple's love is too soon destroyed, partly by a pet, partly by politics; and the second is rent by religion. Ed pulls away thanks to the Bible: "I have to trust my faith's decisions, / Not batten on my own volitions."

      The rest of the novel leads less to the traditional comic ending--rapprochement and marriage all around--than to surprising sadness. But in between there is wit, wordplay, abounding allusion, and some marvelous animals, among them the iguana Schwarzenegger. The author even steps onto the stage on occasion: at a frou-frou publishing party a powerful editor accosts him, curious to hear about his new novel. When Seth tells him it's in verse, the temperature plummets. "'How marvelously quaint,' he said, / And subsequently cut me dead." Luckily, Seth's real editor did anything but.

      4 out of 5 stars Favorite book of my cat.......2006-11-10

      I read this book in twenty sittings
      Alone but for my Bovril tea
      And after twenty eyebrow knittings
      I pulled the covers over me
      High as the pale marijuana smoke
      That covers my bed when I try to toke.
      "Now don't be greedy," my cat said,
      "As someone to whom you have read,
      I pray thee, Kevin, read some more of
      That book The Golden Gate by Seth!"
      "My fault, cat." "It's not life or death,
      But that is one of the books I love."
      And grinning like the famous Cheshire
      We settled in; my nap grew meshire.

      3 out of 5 stars amazing it is not........2006-06-08

      enter vikram seth. he'll trigger powerful physical responses from your face. he'll open up an ancient methodology to the casual reader. he'll write a novel that shall be marketed as a narrative in sonnets. and, throughout half of it, he'll make you cringe.. or snoooooze.

      well, i wouldn't exactly call them sonnets. i'd call them poems with a common sonnet's rhyme scheme. it's certainly not the same thing, as a sonnet has a special form suitable for some difficult, conflicting material. a sonnet might have a sestet and an octave, or even display some other legitimate relationship between the lines. but, for all of its possibilities, a sonnet will never be a loose connection of "a-b-a-b" pleasures without any overriding, collective thematic and/or expressive concerns.

      this is, most likely, a narrative with a touch of wittiness here and there. the gratification, when it does come, is complete.

      it's quite easy to enjoy the book on its surface, so it might make the technical shortcomings excusable, depending on what you're looking for. but, i wouldn't call this a "guilty pleasure," as the pleasures are somewhat infrequent, and are constantly idling in the background, ready to jump out when the reader's ready to shoot an obnoxious yawn.

      so.. modern narrative in verse form? well, if you want to see where it should and should not go, or if you want to see some modern experimentation, then, by all means, "the golden gate" is probably one of the best contemporary works in this special, mainstream genre.

      4 out of 5 stars Wonderful read.......2005-11-17

      A wonderful book that covers
      A thousand themes: Sons and lovers,
      Men and women, Scrabble and chess,
      Bombs and chips, and self-criticism.
      All this with warmth and witticism!
      It's a masterpiece, nothing less.
      Is it prose or verse ? I cannot tell,
      For the lines are fluid, tho' they rest
      Twice a page. With Seth at his best,
      I am sated. None can write so well.

      5 out of 5 stars Speechless..........2005-09-23

      If by some unimaginible twist of fate, for some unspeakable crime, I were to be condemned to a small, desolate island for the rest of my life and allowed to carry with me but one book, the choice would be easy: Golden Gate by Vikram Seth. It would be easy for the obvious: reading this book is so pleasurable it makes one feel guilty (as in "Oh god I don't deserve to be so happy!!"). It would be even easier for what is not so obvious: reading the book engenders in one an intense desire to try and re-create the sublime beauty of Seth's verse. Such a pursuit is a futile exercise over many lifetimes -- one lifetime in a marooned island would go by in the blink of any eye.

      4 out of 5 stars This book is in rhyme, It is like a bell in chime.......2005-09-15

      When I picked up this novel-in-rhyme,
      I surprisingly had a lot of free time,
      But when I started reading this book,
      Even at my wrist-watch I forgot to look.
      Yes my friend, time passed real fast,
      In one go, I read the book to its last.

      Even if you are one who prefers prose,
      This lovely book-in-rhyme on you grows.
      The story is all about people four,
      Not a single on of them is a bore.
      They are - Jon, Janet, Phil and Ed,
      About each, pages have been said.

      I will tell the novel's story no more,
      Read yourself and see whats in store.
      All I'll say is that the book is great,
      So go on. Pick up the book, don't wait.
      Yes, I am talking about `Golden Gate'

      The violinist hero of Vikram Seth's third novel would very much like to be hearing secret harmonies. Instead, living in London 10 years after a key disaster, Michael Holme is easily irritated by his beautiful young (and even French!) girlfriend and by his colleagues in the Maggiore Quartet. In short, he's fed up with playing second fiddle in life and art. Yet a chance encounter with Julia, the pianist he had loved and lost in Vienna, brings Michael sudden bliss. Her situation, however--and the secret that may end her career--threatens to undo the lovers.

      An Equal Music is a fraction of the size of Seth's A Suitable Boy, but is still deliciously expansive. In under 400 pages, the author offers up exquisite complexities, personal and lyrical, while deftly fielding any fears that he's composed a Harlequin for highbrows. During one emotional crescendo, Michael tells Julia, "I don't know how I've lived without you all these years," only to realize, "how feeble and trite my words sound to me, as if they have been plucked out of some housewife fantasy." In addition to the pitch of its love story, one of the book's joys lies in Seth's creation of musical extremes. As the Maggiore rehearses, moving from sniping and impatience to perfection, the author expertly notates the joys of collaboration, trust, and creation. "It's the weirdest thing, a quartet," one member remarks. "I don't know what to compare it to. A marriage? a firm? a platoon under fire? a self-regarding, self-destructive priesthood? It has so many different tensions mixed in with its pleasures."

      An Equal Music is a novel in which the length of Schubert's Trout Quintet matters deeply, the discovery of a little-known Beethoven opus is a miracle, and each instrument has its own being. Just as Michael can't hope to possess Julia, he cannot even dream of owning his beloved Tononi, the violin he has long had only on loan. And it goes without saying that Vikram Seth knows how to tell a tale, keeping us guessing about everything from what the Quartet's four-minute encore will be to what really occasioned Julia's departure from Michael's life. (Or was it in fact Michael who abandoned Julia?) As this love story ranges from London to Michael's birthplace in the north of England to Vienna to Venice, few readers will remain deaf to its appeals. --Kerry Fried

      Book Description

      The author of the international bestseller A Suitable Boy returns with a powerful and deeply romantic tale of two gifted musicians.  Michael Holme is a violinist, a member of the successful Maggiore Quartet.  He has long been haunted, though, by memories of the pianist he loved and left ten years earlier, Julia McNicholl.  Now Julia, married and the mother of a small child, unexpectedly reenters his life and the romance flares up once more.

      Against the magical backdrop of Venice and Vienna, the two lovers confront the truth about themselves and their love, about the music that both unites and divides them, and about a devastating secret that Julia must finally reveal.  With poetic, evocative writing and a brilliant portrait of the international music scene, An Equal Music confirms Vikram Seth as one of the world's finest and most enticing writers.

      4 out of 5 stars It's a family affair.......2007-03-25

      It is, I think, nearly impossible to write about music and do it justice. Vikram Seth, I suspect, understands this dilemma, so he has written the next best thing: how music is created and how the beauty--as well as the flaws--of its performance is frailly based on human qualities and--perhaps just as important--on human relationships. Seth is wise enough not to attempt to describe the music itself in too much detail, although the novel contains just enough historical background and trivia, including a thrilling subplot involving a "mystery" surrounding an extremely obscure Beethoven work.

      Indeed, "An Equal Music" is as much about the music of human spheres as it is about the art itself. Michael Holme, somewhat estranged from his elderly father and living alone (and, at times, lonely), has found a new family in a London-based string quartet. (The domestic setting is reinforced by a brother and sister who are two members of the group.) Their whining, quarrelsome, heated rehearsals often resemble the stereotypical American family Thanksgiving dinner, but rivalries and discordance almost always vanish once the music starts.

      On its own, this is an unpromising basis for a 400-page story. But Michael, as the newest member of the quartet, unwittingly introduces a source of tension into the quartet's delicate cohesion: Julia, a fellow musician who is a long-lost love from his student days in Vienna and who is now married and has a son. Michael and she embark on an affair. And she has a closely guarded secret. And she is, almost accidentally, asked to perform piano with the quartet. This double intrusion--of Michael into her family and of Julia into his "family"--makes for a compelling read, and (not incidentally) it has the potential for making some very bad music.

      Told from Michael's point of view, the novel keeps Julia at arm's length; she is a mystery to Michael and to the reader. Yet, while both characters are convincingly and realistically portrayed, Michael's penchant for self-examination is a bit heavy-handed; the storyteller is too often his own psychologist. His self-analysis doesn't prevent him from being foolish or reckless, however, and this very same awareness provides the most excruciatingly sad passages of the book.

      By presenting art through such a human prism, Seth has written one of the few novels about music I have ever enjoyed (Willa Cather's "Song of the Lark" is another, for similar reasons). Although you don't need to have heard all the compositions to appreciate the story, the various pieces "performed" in the book, including the unearthed Beethoven quintet, are available on a tie-in CD from Decca.

      4 out of 5 stars A beautiful story.......2006-09-07

      This author is such a pleasure to read. This book is touching and deep. You will find yourself thinking about the story and characters long after you've read the last page.

      4 out of 5 stars I liked it.......2006-08-06

      Well written, believable characters, interesting subject. This story is especially good for music lovers.

      5 out of 5 stars Positively Absorbing.......2006-07-30

      This book is stunning. Its plot is believable yet unpredictable, and the prose is simply gorgeous. Thus, while enjoying the writing and the sumptuous settings (London, Vienna, Venice), the book takes a turn or two that the reader won't expect. Although Seth uses much musical jargon, it wasn't a problem for someone like me who has little education in classical music. In fact, I learned some things reading it, and the jargon as well as good attention to setting, really kept the novel's authentic feeling. In the end, it's also a rapturous love story, and any good romantic should simply surrender and enjoy.

      5 out of 5 stars LOVED IT!!!.......2006-07-17

      It is perhaps one of the best books I have read this year. It almost (ALMOST) fell into the small "category" of books that take something real, something that we can touch or see and write some fictious story behind it (i.e Lady and the Unicorn) but here we have more emotion. We have music, love and EMOTION. As a musician I found no fault, however I as a STARVING musician at one time, I wondered how the "main" character Micheal was able to live off of teaching lessons and gigs but the novel was set in London and I live in Ohio so what does that tell you? As a reader I found it engrossing and wonderfull. BRAVO!!

                  Book Description

                  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 EQUALl 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
