Book Review of Bel Canto

Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback

Helpful Score: 2


Bel Canto relies very heavily on the knowledge of opera. While I am not very familiar with opera, the story line was still good. The book is set in an undisclosed foreign country, at a lavish birthday party. Terrorists take the party goers hostage and relationships emerge. It has received great reviews, including the Pen/Faulkner Award.
