New York Times Bestseller. Ann Patchett’s award winning,
bestselling novel that balances themes of love and crisis as
disparate characters learn that music is their only common
language. Somewhere in South America, at the home of the
country's vice president, a lavish birthday party is being held
in honor of the powerful businessman Mr. Hosokawa. Roxanne Coss,
opera's most revered soprano, has mesmerized the international
guests with her singing. It is a perfect evening—until a band of
gun-wielding terrorists takes the entire party hostage. But what
begins as a panicked, life-threatening scenario slowly evolves
into something quite different, a moment of great beauty, as
terrorists and hostages forge unexpected bonds and people from
different continents become compatriots, intimate friends, and
lovers.
Characters: 59. Amazon rating: 4 stars. Genre: Fiction.
