Give it a few chapters and you will be grateful that you did!

I picked up Bel Canto because of the good things I had heard. As an author, I like to give each book more than a few pages to pull me in, because I understand that it sometimes takes that long to set a tone. At first, I wasn't grabbed.

But by page twenty I was hooked!

I know nothing of opera, but I feel that Ms. Patchett has made me feel as if I do. Her writing was lyrical. Her timing was precise. And her ability to write men's thoughts as well as women's was a triumph. There were passages of such insight that they made me want to cheer out loud. And while there were some chapters which moved slower than others, I think this was to be expected given the scene and time frame which she chose. In the final analysis, it was appropriate to the plot for things to move that way.

I am thoroughly impressed, and I will definitely be seeking out some of her other books!

Thank you, Ms. Patchett,

Was in Peru during the actual hostage drama that this is based on. Very interesting. Loved trying to compare the actual with the fiction.

Bought this edition as a gift and recipient was pleased.
