Book of the Week

I highly recommend "Bel Canto" by Ann Patchett. This is an unusual story about a group of terrorists that takes a group of international businessmen and one female opera singer hostage. The story explores the relationships that develop between the individuals, hostage and terrorist alike, through the use of Gen, a Japanese translator as well  as through the language of music. I give this book a thumbs up.
