About this product

Product Information

Now 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 "Glorious." -- The New Yorker Ann Patchett's award winning, New York Times bestselling 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.

Ann Patchett is a special writer who has written a special book., The author has taken what could have been a variation on the Lord of the Flies scenario and fashions instead a 'Lord of the Butterflies,' a dreamlike fable in which the impulses toward beauty and love are shown to be as irrepressible as the instincts for violence and destruction., This fluid and assured narrative, inspired by a real incident, demonstrates her growing maturity and mastery of form as she artfully integrates a musical theme within a dramatic story., Patchett's tragicomic novel--a fantasia of guns and Puccini and Red Cross negotiations--invokes the glorious, unreliable promises of art, politics, and love., One approaches the final pages with a heavy heart for several reasons, not the least of which being that this fine read has come to an end., "Patchett's tragicomic novel--a fantasia of guns and Puccini and Red Cross negotiations--invokes the glorious, unreliable promises of art, politics, and love." -- New Yorker "Elegantly alluring. . . .

  • Bel Canto----read and enjoy

    I read "Bel Canto" several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. this summer I was asked, by my reading group, to select a book for discussion. I do a lot of reading but decided on "Bel Canto" as the premise of the book is as timely now as it was in the 1950's or when this book was written. As South America becomes more important to us interest in this book should increase. The relationship between hostages and/or prisioners is also worth thinking about, and talking about. I love books that make you think and that provoke discussion. Pat K
