"Bel Canto is its own universe. A marvel of a book." --Washington Post Book World
In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, HarperCollins is proud to present thislibrary of American classics drawn from our storied catalog. Bel Canto is New York Times bestsellingauthor Ann Patchett's spellbinding novel about love and opera, and the unifying wayspeople learn to communicate across cultural barriers in times of crisis.
First published in 2001, Bel Canto is possibly Ann Patchett's most beloved novel. Set in an unnamed South American country, at the home of the vice president, it is the story of a lavish birthday party honoring Mr. Hosokawa, a powerful Japanese businessman. Roxanne Coss, opera's most revered soprano, has enthralled the international guests with a mesmerizing performance. The evening is perfect--until a band of gun-wielding terrorists takes the entire party hostage. But in Patchett's skilled hands, 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. Friendship, compassion, and the chance for great love lead the characters to forget the real danger that has been set in motion--and cannot be stopped.
