Description
A lavish birthday party in South America takes a dramatic turn when a group of terrorists takes the entire gathering hostage. Opera's most revered soprano, Roxane Coss, is among the guests, and as the situation unfolds, she forms unexpected bonds with her captors. As the night wears on, the terrorists and their hostages forge a connection that transcends their differences. The result is a poignant and humorous exploration of human nature, where beauty and terror coexist. This novel, from the internationally bestselling author of The Dutch House and Commonwealth, is a powerful and moving portrayal of the human spirit.
