Bel canto : a novel / Ann Patchett. - New York : Harper Perennial, 2001. - 318, [4] strony ; 20 cm.
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.
Roxane 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.
