Modern classic Vikram Seth is a true citizen of the world. Born in India, he studied at Oxford and also at Stanford University in California, where instead of a dissertation in economics he wrote his first novel 'The Golden Gate' about American yuppies — and it was a novel in verse; moreover, written from beginning to end in the Onegin stanza. Then, after many years of work, Seth published the epic 'An Equal Music', record-breaking in many respects: the longest novel in the history of English literature to be published in a single volume; translations into three dozen languages and a worldwide circulation reaching 26 million copies. And after 'An Equal Music', there followed yet another step in the most unexpected direction — 'Only One Music': 'a narrative of the highest emotional intensity' (Economist), 'the best novel about music in all of English literature' (Daily Telegraph), 'a true masterpiece' (Daily Mail). So, one day violinist Michael Holm, a member of the successful quartet 'Majore', meets on a London bus his old love, pianist Julia McNicholl — and the former passion flares up with new strength. Music brings them together and separates them, but Julia hides a secret that will turn their world upside down…
