Beskrivelse
Winner of The Women's Prize for Fiction and the PEN - Faulkner Award for Fiction. The poignant - and at times very funny - novel from the author of State of Wonder 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.

Smuk historie om opera og gidseltagning
En langsomt historie, fortalt med smuk prosa og med stor kærlighed til både musik og sprog. En historie om både gidsler og gidseltagere, der bevæger sig sammen mod den uundgåelige, men uerkendte, tragiske kulmination på en langvarig gidselsituation.
