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.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50876744728795,"sku":"9780008610029-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3cdeea20-77b3-47f2-a677-dcab145ab420.jpg?v=1792577360","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780008610029-secondhand-bel-canto","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
