The poignant – and at times very funny – novel from the 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":"Ann Patchett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47683923771710,"sku":"9781841155838","price":310.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781841155838_6c7e89e9-d71d-4c3b-818e-2c317b01f177.jpg?v=1707635136","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781841155838","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
