Blurb (from Amazon): "Somewhere in South America, at the home of the country's vice president, a lavish birthday party is being held in honor of the powerful businessman Mr. Hosokawa. Roxanne Coss, opera's most revered soprano, has mesmerized 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"
Opinion: Too many logical things that turned me away from enjoying this. So this hostage situation last for MONTHS...not days or hours but MONTHS....and no mention of the president trying to help his VP and this is who the terrorists wanted in the first place. The ending was crap. Sure, the development of the relationships between characters and their language barriers was great to read but just the pure logic of the plot was bad.
