Winner of The Women's Prize for Fiction and the PEN/Faulkner Award
for Fiction. The poignant - and at times very funny - novel from
the internationally bestselling author of The Dutch House and
Commonwealth. Somewhere in South America, at the home of the
country's vice president, a lavish birthday party is being held in
honour of the powerful businessman Mr. Hosokawa. Roxane Coss,
opera's most revered soprano, has mesmerised the international
guests with her singing. It is a perfect evening - until a band of
gun-wielding terrorists takes the entire party hostage. But what
begins as a panicked, life-threatening scenario slowly evolves into
something quite different, a moment of great beauty, as terrorists
and hostages forge unexpected bonds and people from different
continents become compatriots, intimate friends, and lovers.
