Awarded the Women's Prize for Fiction and the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction.
The moving—and sometimes very funny—novel by the author of The Dutch House and Commonwealth.
Somewhere in South America, at the vice president's residence, a lavish birthday party is being held in honor of the powerful businessman Mr. Hosokawa. Roxane Coss, the most renowned opera soprano, has enchanted the international guests with her voice.
It's a perfect evening—until a group of terrorists armed with guns takes the entire party hostage. What begins as a frantic, menacing situation slowly evolves into something entirely different, a moment of great beauty, as the terrorists and hostages form unexpected bonds and people from different continents become compatriots, close friends, and lovers.
