Bel Canto

 

Bel Canto by Ann Patchett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Right from the first word of the first page I was engaged in this story. A group of guerillas enter a home in an unnamed country in South America during a party being held there and take the party-goers hostage. As days turn into weeks and weeks turn into months, we get to know the home’s occupants- those from both sides of the conflict and grow to at least appreciate them, and at best, love them. It is a powerful story of music, love, hope, and unity. After reading the book I watched the movie, which was also very good.
