About this listen

Michael is a violinist from Rochdale. He plays in a trio in Vienna with Julia, a pianist, and they are much taken with each other. But the trio splits up and they go their separate ways. One day in London, from the top of a double-decker bus, Michael catches a glimpse of Julia. They eventually meet up, and she tells him that she is contentedly married and has a child. Michael persuades her to visit Vienna and Venice with him. He discovers that Julia has become deaf, though her deafness comes and goes. When Michael reads a letter from Julia to her husband, he realises that Julia is never going to give herself to him.

An Equal Music is a magnificent, deeply moving novel. I’ve read it twice before, both in Hebrew and English, and listening to the audiobook only enhanced the experience. The narration adds an extra layer of emotion and music, making the story even more vivid and touching. Highly recommended for anyone who loves profound literature and classical music.
