À propos de ce produit

Product Information

NYT Bestseller A major motion picture starring Julianne Moore and Ken Watanabe. "Blissfully romantic....A strange, terrific, spellcasting story." -- San Francisco Chronicle " Bel Canto ...should be on the list of every literate music lover. The story is riveting, the participants breathe and feel and are alive, and throughout this elegantly-told novel, music pours forth so splendidly that the reader hears it and is overwhelmed by its beauty." --Lloyd Moss, WXQR Ann Patchett's award winning Bel Canto balances themes of love and crisis as disparate characters learn that music is their only common language. As in Patchett's other novels, including Truth & Beauty and The Magician's Assistant , the author'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.

  • Goes nowhere slowly

    I'm only 3/4 of the way through but hope it ends soon. Story line, in my opinion, doesn't make a whole lot of sense. How could so many people be so enamored by a singer - not believeable. Kind of boring.

  • Bel Canto

    Our book club had a fine discussion with this book that is based ona seige in Peru. The characters are well developed and it is an unusual love story, showing how our idea of terrorists and hostages might change. Well written and even amusing at times. We thought the epilogue could have told us about how the survivors might have changed afterwards, instead of way it was presented. What happened to the vice-president, the priest, the Russians?

  • An amazing book

    I'd heard some people say they loved the book and others hated it but I was in the LOVED category. In fact, I gave it away as Christmas presents the year I read it. Although I knew the general story line, it was still unpredictable and the end just left me sitting there thinking. About what, I will not say. You need to figure that our for yourself.
