BEL CANTO by Ann Patchett

FIC
PATCHETT

When terrorist storm the vice presidential palace of a nameless South American country during a birthday concert for the CEO of a major Japanese corporation, they take the performer, renowned soprano Roxanne Coss, and the audience members hostage. Rather than writing an account of a grim ordeal, Patchett has written a novel with a surprising sense of humor that pays tribute to the transforming power of music.
