The Music Room
Monday ~ May 05, 2008 by Sangeeta Posted in Books, reviews
The Music Room by Namita Devidayal is a beautiful book. Classical music is at once the central idea as also a background theme to the plot. The book unveils the journey of a girl (Namita) living in Mumbai and studying in an English school and discovering, accepting and loving a parallel world of classical music. The author unfolds the story lovingly and languidly, which makes it easy to read. Details unnecessary to the theme are omitted and yet the reader does not feel a jarring break to the storyline. The narrative is carefully peppered with research related to music though it is done in a storylike or anecdotal fashion. Though it deals with classical music, which is not a layman topic, it never bores the reader. It rather enriches the curious or awestruck mind. I would recommend it to everyone interested in a good read.
