Industry Reviews
"[A] novel that begins with a kiss and absolutely deserves one....[An] elegantly alluring book....One of the delightful things about the way BEL CANTO unfolds is the way Ann Patchett uses the ordeal of entrapment to locate unexpected resources in her characters...."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (05/31/2001)
"Patchett's tragicomic novel...invokes the glorious, unreliable promises of art, politics, and love."
New Yorker (06/18/2001)
"It is essentially a novel about the power of music; also about the power of love, which is not quite the same thing, although related. In passing, it makes some acute observations about political and economic conditions in the third world. It has some vividly realized characters and a plot right out of contemporary headlines. It is well worth reading, despite a few episodes that strain credulity and small technical lapses that an editor should have caught."
Washington Post Book World - Joseph McLellan (07/08/2001)
