About this audiobook

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.
