BEL CANTO
 
�Blissfully Romantic�.A strange, terrific, spellcasting story.� � San Francisco Chronicle
�Bel Canto�should be on the list of every literate music lover. The story is riveting, the participants breathe and feel and are alive, and throughout this elegantly-told novel, music pours forth so splendidly that the reader hears it and is overwhelmed by its beauty.� �Lloyd Moss, WXQR
�Glorious.� �The New Yorker
Ann Patchett�s award winning, New York Times bestselling Bel Canto balances themes of love and crisis as disparate characters learn that music is their only common language. As in Patchett�s other novels, including Truth & Beauty and The Magician�s Assistant, the author�s lyrical prose and lucid imagination make Bel Canto a captivating story of strength and frailty, love and imprisonment, and an inspiring tale of transcendent romance.
