Chatting Books Online Day 38. Today’s recommended book is Bel Canto by Ann Patchett . My favorite of Ann Patchett’s books; this story of terror, love, friendship and above all, music weaves a mesmerizing tale .
When the world’s most famous opera singer is invited to perform at a lavish birthday party taking place in the palatial home of a South American government official everyone who gets an invitation considers themselves lucky until gun-wielding terrorists burst through the doors and take everyone hostage . As time goes on in their captivity we see not only the fear, but also relationships, friendships and even love blossom in this most unlikely circumstance . So beautifully written you can almost hear the music that wraps throughout the telling.
