Divine Music

Divine Music | Suruchi Mohan

2 posts | 1 read | 3 to read

In her richly textured debut novel, Suruchi Mohan weaves a captivating coming-of-age tale against the backdrop of intricate world of North Indian classical music. We are swept along by the story of musically gifted Sarika, and her revered guru who recognises in her a talent greater than his own; but is her beautiful voice enough to protect her from being a woman in a rapidly changing yet unforgiving society? Rich in details of Indian traditions and music, the author narrates a powerful story of growing dissatisfaction of ordinary people, their yearnings and hopes, their aspirations and accomplishments, their predicaments, joys and sorrows. The characters come alive and pull you into their middle class values and lives with finely depicted scenes.

Divine Music | Suruchi Mohan

Pick

pick

A discarded book from the library, this has been on my shelf for years. It‘s a thoroughly immersive story from India. Sarika, a teenager and accomplished singer, falls in love with her music teacher, her guru. It is a story of music, of the passion and spirituality of Indian music, of jealousy, of a variety of societal pressures, and a dash of politics. The writing brought a vivid sense of place and I‘m missing it already.

blurb

Divine Music | Suruchi Mohan

Last night I started reading the tagged book. As I was immersed in it, the bells from the church next door to me started ringing. I have no idea why. There was no one there to ring the bells. That inspired me to get off the couch and go out for a walk. The snow was falling gently (for some reason you can‘t see it in the photo) and there was absolute silence as I walked through the village. The bells, the silence, the book...all divine.
