Query: Unequivocally Brilliant

At one level, this is a book about the emotional and artistic travails of a failed musician. However, the protagonist's emotional turbulence comes across as a bit of a feeble and self-indulgent counterpoint to a latent but more powerful theme that the narrative explores - the agony of an accomplished musician who gradually loses her most treasured faculty - the sense of hearing.The book also successfully captures the author's self-proclaimed love for music. The numerous adulatory passages on sundry pieces of music might be tedious for some but strike a chord with anyone who is passionate about music. Seth's portraiture of the classical music scene in London is as evocative as Victor Hugo's homage to Parisian Architecture in the Hunchback of Notre Dame.One helluva Musical!!
