In Ann Patchett's captivating novel Bel Canto, a lavish birthday party in a South American country for a visiting Japanese CEO takes a dramatic turn when terrorists storm the mansion, taking a group of international guests hostage, including the celebrated American soprano Roxane Coss. As days turn into weeks, an unlikely community forms within the confines of captivity, where the shared experience transcends language and cultural barriers, and the power of music, particularly Roxane's transcendent voice, creates unexpected bonds and reveals the shared humanity among captors and captives alike in this Collins Modern Classics edition.
