Hosokawa PDG de la plus grosse entreprise japonaise d'électronique. Hosokawa est invité par le chef de l'Etat lui même d'origine japonaise très désireux de le voir investir dans le pays. M. Hosokawa étant fou d'opéra le président a fait venir la célèbre soprano américaine Roxanne Coss. Par malheur l'anniversaire tombe un mardi et le président ne peut se résoudre à manquer son feuilleton télévisé ; il prétexte donc la crise au Proche-Orient pour s'éclipser rapidement. A la fin du récital la résidence est soudain envahie par une troupe de guérilleros armés jusqu'aux dents. Ils exigent que le président leur soit remis. La prise d'otages est partie pour durer et dans la maison du vice-président il s'instaure un "modus vivendi" entre les guérilleros et leurs prisonniers.

Quatrième de couverture Quelque part en Amérique du Sud une réception somptueuse donnée en l'honneur d'un puissant industriel japonais réunit des hôtes de marque autour de la célèbre cantatrice américaine Roxane Coss. Alors que s'égrènent les dernières notes du récital de la diva une bande de guérilleros armés jusqu'aux dents investit les lieux. À défaut de pouvoir enlever le président du pays - retenu ailleurs par des obligations "diplomatiques" aussi cruciales que soudaines - les terroristes prennent ses invités en otage. Toutes les femmes seront relâchées à l'exception de la cantatrice qui devrait servir de monnaie d'échange. Les négociations tournent court et la prise d'otages se prolonge. Au fil des semaines puis des mois des rapports singuliers se tissent au sein du groupe d'otages et entre guérilleros et prisonniers à mesure que s'instaure un fragile modus vivendi. Et par la virtuosité d'Ann Patchett ce huis clos où évoluent des personnages d'horizons très différents séparés par les barrières de la langue et de la culture se transforme pour le lecteur ébloui en une fenêtre ouverte sur le monde. Bon état.

Bel Canto by Ann Patchett is a novel that explores the unexpected connections formed during a hostage crisis in an unnamed South American country. The story begins when a lavish birthday party for a Japanese businessman, Mr. Hosokawa, is interrupted by a group of terrorists seeking to capture the president. When they discover the president is not present, they take the guests hostage instead.
