Review title: An entire book in which nothing happens.
Product review: Lyrically written, as one might expect in a book infused with opera. In spite of the lovely prose and strong character development, nothing happens that is not described inside the book's front cover! Many dignitaries and one world reknowned soprano are taken hostage by terrorists. Dignitaries and terrorists alike find love and happiness in spite of their circumstances. The hostage situation ends. Such an ending could have been climactic and chaotic, but the author showed no talent for suspense. It seemed that Ms. Patchett had finished developing all of the characters to her satisfaction; and now that the reader could understand the deep implications of the conclusion, she briefly described the story's end and summed up with a disappointing and even more cursory epilogue. Lovely, but boring.
