Another book club choice, this story reminds me of an opera. It’s so far fetched that only as an opera does it make sense to me. I did not like this book. I couldn’t wait to finish the story but I enjoyed the writers writing style. The story centers on Roxane whose voice is so beautiful her listeners are captivated in a trance and seem to forget that they are terrorists and hostages. I’m glad we read this one because I would not have read this one on my own.The most powerful electronics executive in Japan, Mr. Hosokawa, is invited to celebrate his birthday in a South American country. Midway through the extravagant party, terrorists take the guests hostage, including a very famous soprano Roxane Coss. Ms. Pachett creates an interesting subculture with this group with twists and turns the reader never sees coming.
