Product Information
Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award * Winner of the Orange Prize * National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist "Bel Canto is its own universe. A marvel of a book." --Washington Post Book World A beautifully designed Harper Perennial Deluxe Edition of Ann Patchett's spellbinding novel about love and opera, and the unifying ways people learn to communicate across cultural barriers in times of crisis. 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. Patchett's lyrical prose and lucid imagination make Bel Canto a captivating story of strength and frailty, love and imprisonment, and an inspiring tale of transcendent romance.

Ann Patchett is a special writer who has written a special book., The author has taken what could have been a variation on the Lord of the Flies scenario and fashions instead a 'Lord of the Butterflies,' a dreamlike fable in which the impulses toward beauty and love are shown to be as irrepressible as the instincts for violence and destruction., This fluid and assured narrative, inspired by a real incident, demonstrates her growing maturity and mastery of form as she artfully integrates a musical theme within a dramatic story., Patchett's tragicomic novel--a fantasia of guns and Puccini and Red Cross negotiations--invokes the glorious, unreliable promises of art, politics, and love., One approaches the final pages with a heavy heart for several reasons, not the least of which being that this fine read has come to an end., "Patchett's tragicomic novel--a fantasia of guns and Puccini and Red Cross negotiations--invokes the glorious, unreliable promises of art, politics, and love." -- New Yorker "Elegantly alluring. . . .
