> "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

**Ann Patchett’s award winning _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.
