Bel Canto (Portuguese Edition) Kindle Edition

Na casa do vice-presidente de algum país da América do Sul, uma elegante festa de aniversário está sendo realizada. O homenageado é o Sr. Hosokawa, poderoso empresário japonês. Roxanne Coss, soprano de fama internacional, fascina os convidados. É uma noite perfeita – até que um bando armado invade o local pelos dutos de ar-condicionado e torna todos os convidados reféns. O objetivo inicial era sequestrar o presidente, mas ele ficou em casa assistindo à novela. E assim, desde o início, nada sai como o esperado.

No entanto, o que começa como um cenário de pânico e risco de vida evolui para algo completamente novo, com terroristas e reféns desenvolvendo laços inesperados e pessoas de diferentes países agindo como compatriotas. Compaixão, amizade e a possibilidade de um grande amor levam os personagens a esquecer a ameaça real que os cerca.

Ao transitar com maestria pela mente e pelo coração de reféns e terroristas, Ann Patchett constrói um romance que revela uma humanidade profunda. Com sua voz sutilmente lírica e melódica, a autora faz de Bel Canto um gentil lembrete sobre a transcendência e a beleza do amor.

“Ann Patchett em seu melhor. O que confere o poder desse romance é a habilidade da autora para esboçar as sutilezas do comportamento humano.” The New York Times Book Review

“Um livro sobre encontrar a beleza em lugares inesperados – em mais de um sentido.” New York Magazine

Que livro bom, este! Uma mistura improvável - ópera, terroristas, sequestro - muito bem temperada e escrita com grande sensibilidade. Gostei tanto que li bem devagar, querendo saber o final e ao mesmo tempo não querendo que acabasse. Acho que ficaria lendo sobre estes personagens um ano inteiro, já estou com saudades deles todos.

Não conhecia a autora e gostei muito deste livro, que é inspirado em fatos reais. Forma-se uma bolha, fora do tempo e do espaço, envolvendo sequestradores e sequestrados. Quando a bolha se estilhaça, fere profundamente o leitor.
