reviewed Wonderful story, beautifully written on + 8 more book reviews


Bel Canto is one of those books that stays with you. You'll think about it, contemplate it, and never quite forget it. It's a fantastic pick for bookclubs and a great read by oneself. It's the tale of a hostage situation somewhere in Asia--we never quite find out where--and an examination of character. So many wonderful people to meet in these pages, and you can't help but wonder what might have happened five or 10 years down the road. One of my favorites.
